Dr. Bonnie Ky is an Associate Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology and physician-scientist at the University of Pennsylvania. She leads a highly active NIH-funded translational research program in cardio-oncology and is the PI of multiple investigator-initiated cohort studies and clinical trials focused on the study of the cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin, trastuzumab, sunitinib, and radiation therapy in the breast, renal cell, and lung cancers, and lymphoma patients. Her programmatic objectives are to understand how to improve cardiovascular outcomes in cancer patients by determining individual patient risk, through detailed phenotyping of clinical characteristics, biologic markers, and echocardiography-derived measures of myocardial mechanics and function.
