Isabella M. Grumbach, M.D., Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
Dr. Grumbach's clinical and research interests are non-invasive imaging and general cardiology. Her research interests focus on signaling pathways that regulate inflammation and hypertrophy in vascular disease. Studies are directed at understanding the interaction of different agonists in the activation of NF-kB in vascular smooth muscle cells and blood vessels.
