Research Background

Dr. Reena Ghosh is a board-certified pediatric cardiologist, with advanced training in cross-sectional imaging. As a senior fellow at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, she co-founded the Cardiac Center 3D Imaging Collaborative, establishing a robust clinical 3D modeling service for surgical and transcatheter procedural planning in patients with congenital and acquired heart disease.

Dr. Ghosh is currently a physician scientist in the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Boston Children's Hospital and an Instructor at Harvard Medical School. She focuses her efforts on valve modeling, CMR research and most importantly, serving as an interdepartmental bridge to promote clinical translation of novel imaging and modeling techniques for patient-specific procedural planning.
