Awarded by the Academy of Radiology Research for his contribution to the understanding of this area of science, Dr. Zahi A Fayad is considered a prestigious Biomedical Engineer. In this sense, most of his line of research has focused on both the detection and prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases. In this way, he has made multiple contributions in the field of Multimodal Biomedical Imaging, promoting the correct use of technological tools such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging or Positron Emission Computed Tomography in the health community.  

In addition, he has an extensive professional background that has led him to occupy relevant positions such as the Director of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging at Mount Sinai Medical Center, located in New York. It should be noted that he combines this work with his facet as a Research Scientist at the National Institutes of Health of the United States government. He has written more than 500 exhaustive clinical articles on subjects such as drug development, the integration of the most avant-garde techniques of Multimodal Cardiovascular Imaging in clinical practice or non-invasive in vivo methods in clinical trials for the development of new therapies to treat Atherosclerosis. Thanks to this, his work has facilitated the understanding of the effects of Stress on the immune system and Cardiac Pathologies significantly. 

On the other hand, this specialist leads 4 multicenter clinical trials funded by the US pharmaceutical industry for the creation of new cardiovascular drugs. His objective is to improve therapeutic efficacy in conditions such as Hypertension, Heart Failure or Stroke. At the same time, it develops prevention strategies to raise public awareness of the importance of maintaining healthy lifestyle habits to promote optimal cardiac health.
