2026 Genomic and Precision Medicine and Epidemiology Mid-Career Research Award and Lecturer – Victoria N. Parikh, MD

Victoria N. Parikh, MD

Stanford University School of Medicine
Stanford, California

Dr. Parikh is a clinician scientist who studies inherited (genetic) cardiovascular disease and cares for patients who have it. She completed clinical cardiology fellowship at Stanford School of Medicine and her medical residency at the University of California, San Francisco. She is the director of the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease (SCICD) which is one of the largest of its kind in the country. SCICD integrates clinical and basic science with the expert care of patients with genetic cardiovascular conditions (e.g., cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias and vascular diseases). It provides cutting edge care for thousands of patients and families across the lifespan and integrates medical, surgical and genetics care.

Dr. Parikh's own clinical practice and laboratory are focused on the genetics of cardiomyopathies and their associated arrhythmogenic substrates. Funded by multiple research grants from the NIH, her lab seeks to identify novel mechanisms and therapeutic technologies for genetic cardiomyopathy as well as better understand the natural histories of patients affected by these diseases.
