<p>Lili Zhang, MD, is Director, Cardio-Oncology Program and Assistant Professor, Cardiology at Montefiore Einstein. A non-invasive cardiologist and a cardiac imaging specialist, Dr. Zhang’s clinical focus is in Cardio-Oncology, cardiomyopathy, general cardiology, echocardiography and multimodality cardiac imaging.</p><p>In 2007, Dr. Zhang earned her Doctor of Medicine degree at Peking University, Beijing, China. Further education and postdoctoral training brought her to the U.S., completing her Master of Science in Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in 2011. She then came to Einstein, completing her residency in internal medicine in 2015 and her fellowship in cardiology in 2018. In 2019, Dr. Zhang completed her fellowship in Cardio-Oncology and cardiac imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital.</p><p>Dr. Zhang’s research focuses on cardiotoxicity of cancer therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitor myocarditis, cardiovascular care and the application of multimodality imaging and machine-learning techniques in cardiovascular disease. Her research experience includes retrospective studies, prospective cohorts (ARIC and CHS), large multi-cohort consortiums (CHARGE and PAGE consortiums), randomized clinical trials (PROMISE trial), and international collaborative registries (international immune checkpoint inhibitor myocarditis registry and Global Cardio Oncology Registry). She has shared her work through more than 60 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals and abstract publications.</p><p>Dr. Zhang is board certified in Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease. She is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, and is a member of the American Heart Association and the international Cardio-Oncology Society. In 2021, she was awarded the Glorney-Raisbeck Junior Faculty Research Award in Cardiovascular Disease by New York Academy of Medicine.</p>
