Dr. Mehta’s research program focuses on the role of innate immunity and inflammation in the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Using a trans-disciplinary approach that involves genetic epidemiology, translational medicine, and novel cardiovascular imaging approaches, Dr. Mehta and his team study how inflammation affects insulin resistance, the development of metabolic syndrome, and lipoprotein dysfunction, all of which are risk factors for atherosclerosis and subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Research Interest: It is Mainly Lies in Two Areas. First I Focused on Applying Statistical Methods and Multilevel Modeling in Randomized Clinical Trials and Family-Based Health-Related Interventions, Particularly in Substance Abuse, HIV/AIDS, STD, Sexual Risk Behaviors and Minority Health Disparities. Second, I am Interested in Epidemiology Studies 0f Chronic Disease Including Alcohol Use Disorder, Drug Abuse, Obesity, Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome, Hypertension, Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke; and Also from Genetic Epidemiology Point of View to Examine Complex Disease Including Alcohol Dependence and Co-Morbidity, and Alzheimer Disease Etc. 

Research Interest: Her Clinical and Research Interest Focuses on Diabetes Management, Cardiovascular Risk, Flow Cytometry-Based Study of Endothelial Dysfunction, Novel Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes, Clinical Nutrition and Mediterranean Diet
