Personal Statement

I am a cardiovascular physiologist by training. My research interest is in unravelling the mechanisms of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) with special focus on salt-dependent hypertension. I also have interest in addiction physiology and bioethics particularly ethics of artificial intelligence use in medicine. I’m currently a visiting researcher at the Lifestyle Diseases Research Entity, Faculty of Health Sciences, North-West University, South Africa. My ultimate goal is to develop an easy-to-use device or software model that could be used to determine the level of cardiovascular damage in the body of all categories of smokers.
