Anjan K. Chakrabati, M.D., is currently a Cardiovascular Disease Fellow with the Harvard Medical School at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. His primary clinical interests are in General Cardiology and Interventional Cardiology. His research focus to this point has been on clinical outcomes in acute coronary syndromes; he was able to work with leaders in this field during my time at the University of Michigan and publish his work as first author in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Currently, in addition to his clinical training, he is an active investigator in multiple clinical trials with his research mentor, Dr. C Michael Gibson.
His prior research experience included translational research in the field of Vascular Medicine; specifically, he assessed genetic polymorphisms and their effect on endothelial function measured by brachial artery reactivity and was co-author on a number of publications in peer-reviewed journals on this topic.
His contributions to teaching and education have primary consisted of informal teaching of medical students and residents during post-graduate training. During his year as a Clinical Lecturer at the University of Michigan he was able to directly supervise and teach residents and students both in the Urgent Care/Emergency Department setting as well as the General Medicine Wards. As a Cardiovascular Disease Fellow he regularly participates in formal clinical conferences highlighting fundamental and advanced principles of cardiovascular medicine and formally supervise residents in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit and Inpatient Cardiology Wards.
A significant portion of his time has been devoted to community projects and committees of the major medical organizations. While a resident of Detroit he worked with outreach groups including Habitat for Humanity, Code Blue, ARIE, and Teach Peace. In addition, he has spent a significant portion of time during his post-graduate training and beyond working with free and low-income community clinics, including the Cass Clinic and HOPE clinic. He was able to represent the University of Michigan and develop institutional ties with Korle Bu Hospital in Accra, Ghana while spending a month practicing clinical medicine with limited resources.
During his fellowship he aims to continue my clinical development in General and Interventional Cardiology, be productive with research, and pursue formal training in clinical research and biostatistics.
