I am pleased to welcome Dr. Jeevan Nagendran to the Department of Surgery as an Assistant Professor within the Division of Cardiac Surgery, effective July 1, 2016.
Dr. Nagendran completed his medical degree and cardiac surgery residency at the University of Alberta. During his residency, Dr. Nagendran completed a PhD in Experimental Surgery through the University of Alberta's Clinical Investigator Program. Following his residency training, Dr. Nagendran completed a fellowship in Minimally Invasive Valve and Revascularization Surgery at Western University London, Ontario.
Dr. Nagendran's primary focus of research is in basic science; specifically, the improvement of tissue engineered heart valves. In addition to his primary research interest, Dr. Nagendran has an impressive track record for clinical research in multiple aspects of cardiac surgery which will help the Division of Cardiac Surgery to progress in collaborations with local and national networks in both basic science and clinical research arenas.
