The SAHR Metabolic Sub-Group

Meet the Team

The Metabolism Group within SAHR is dedicated to promoting translational cardiovascular regenerative research impacting metabolic health such as diabetes mellitus, prediabetes, obesity and endocrinopathies. It is particularly interested to advance cardiometabolic research in South Asian communities

Dr Sen is a clinician scientist with board certification in Endocrinology, Lipidology, Obesity Medicine and Internal Medicine. My translational research interest involves studies on how high glucose affects adult stem and progenitor cells. More specifically I study survival of human CD34+ cells (endothelial progenitor cell, EPCs) and differentiation of adult bone marrow and fat derived mesenchymal stem cells in hyperglycemia. I am interested in using adult stem cells not only as a regenerative tool in cardiovascular diseases but also as a biomarker to predict cardio-metabolic health status in response to an intervention.
