He also serves as Director of the UCI Heart Disease Prevention Program and holds a joint appointment in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at UCI Public Health. His research focuses on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, particularly high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and its interaction with inflammation markers like high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP).

Key studies include examining how elevated hs-CRP attenuates the protective effects of HDL in CVD risk. His work utilizes large datasets such as the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). No specific awards or grants are listed in the provided texts, and no student advisees are mentioned. The UCI Heart Disease Prevention Program represents his primary research and clinical team affiliation.
