Personal information

Biography

Dr. Suman Kundu is an Assistant Professor (Research) in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) in Nashville, USA. Presently he is working at various NIH-funded projects linking standard risk factors, genetic variants and bio-markers with cardiovascular disease among patients with HIV. Prior to joining at Vanderbilt in 2015, he received his DSc in Epidemiology from Erasmus University in the Netherlands and MSc in Mathematics from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur in India.

His works on methodological considerations in prediction research, simulation study and cardiovascular research. He has published several manuscripts in peer reviewed journals focusing on incremental value of adding new bio-markers in predicting complex diseases through modeling studies to justify whether empirical investigation is warranted. His other research includes investigating the impact of HIV, inflammation, depression, and alcohol use on cardiovascular outcomes. He is interested in advanced statistical modeling applied in health science research.
