Dr. Gargya Malla, MD, MPH, PhD
Lab Associate
Judy and Peter Blum Kovler Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellow (NIMHD). Dr Malla’s research focuses on social determinants of cardiovascular disease and includes a multilevel framework that assesses individual factors (e.g., education, race/ethnicity), as well as contextual and structural factors (e.g., rurality, built environment) as determinants of cardiovascular conditions (e.g., coronary heart disease, heart failure and stroke). She has also contributed to several other research projects focused on multilevel influences on health.
