Biography

Ramin E. Beygui, MD, FACS has concurrently joined UCSF School of Medicine Faculty in the Division of Adult Cardiothoracic Surgery and assumed the position of medical director of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Washington Hospital Health System. Dr Beygui has practiced cardiac, thoracic, and vascular surgery for the past 15 years at UCLA and Stanford University Medical Centers and will be practicing the entire scope of his experience and expertise. This includes repair of aortic aneurysms and dissections, minimally invasive and cardiac surgery for structural heart disease and coronary disease, and cardiopulmonary transplantation.

He has served as the director of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm at UCLA, the surgical director of lung and heart-lung transplantation at Stanford University Medical Center and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, and medical director of cardiac, thoracic, and vascular surgery at NorthBay Medical Center.

    • Research Overview

    Since 2001 Dr. Beygui has been an active researcher in cardiovascular tissue engineering and stem cell differentiation along the cardiovascular lineage. Dr. Beygui and research collaborators have published their research extensively on myocardial regeneration, mechanisms of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion, tissue regeneration, stem cell differentiation, drug release from nanoparticles in small animal models, and the effects of surface topology on cell surface adhesion molecules. Over the past 4 years Dr. Beygui has collaborated closely with Professor Richard Zare (Stanford University) on the application of nanoparticles on tumor regression and angiogenesis.
