Dr. Ahmed Abdel-Latif has made significant contributions to advancing cardiovascular research, with a focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving pathological cardiac remodeling. Trained as both an interventional cardiologist and immunologist, he brings a unique perspective that bridges clinical expertise with cutting-edge basic and translational science.
His research explores the molecular and immune responses to myocardial stress, particularly the role of bone marrow–derived innate immune cells in cardiac disease. By integrating clinical, biochemical, cellular, and pharmacological approaches, his work has yielded important insights into how cardiac injury progresses to heart failure, while highlighting opportunities for innovative therapeutic interventions.
Beyond his research, Dr. Abdel-Latif has demonstrated a strong commitment to mentorship and collaborative science. He has guided numerous students, postdoctoral fellows, and clinical trainees—many of whom have gone on to publish, win prestigious awards, or establish careers in academia. His leadership in multi-investigator collaborations and multi-center studies reflects a dedication to translating scientific discovery into improved patient care, advancing both the field of cardiology and the next generation of physician-scientists.

Mahmud Tarhuni has contributed to several research initiatives and has played a key role in important studies focused on enhancing patient care through innovative cardiac monitoring and investigating inflammatory mechanisms in heart failure.
His involvement in projects such as real-time continuous cardiac monitoring for arrhythmia detection and management, alongside research into lysophosphatidic acid–mediated inflammation, reflects a strong commitment to bridging clinical practice with scientific discovery.
By assisting in data collection, laboratory coordination, and multidisciplinary collaboration, Madmud actively supports the pursuit of excellence in cardiac research and contributes to improving patient outcomes. focusing on cardiac inflammation and post-injury repair. His work has supported clinical data collection, manuscript preparation, and ethics submissions, while also assisting in lab operations and interdisciplinary coordination. His contributions reflect a growing interest in improving cardiovascular care through research and innovation
