• Duke University Hospital (Internship/Residency)
• Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (Fellowship)

Her research focuses on cardiac regeneration through:

• Gene therapy with cyclin A2
• Placenta-derived CDX2 cell therapies
• Epigenetic control of cardiomyocyte proliferation
• Cell cycle protein-contractile interaction studies
• Human cardiomyocyte cytokinesis documentation
• Allogeneic cell therapy development

Recent publications emphasize cardiac regeneration, placental stem cells, ablation techniques, and epigenetic mechanisms. Key awards include:

• TEDMED Innovation Scholar (2013)
• Best Manuscript Award, Circulation Research (2012)

She leads the Chaudhry Laboratory, which pioneered cytokinesis induction in adult human cardiomyocytes and developed novel live-cell imaging tools. Dr. Chaudhry also holds equity in Ventrinova, Inc as a founder, focusing on cardiac therapeutic delivery systems.
