About

Fima Macheret trained in Biochemical Engineering at the University of Southern California, studied clinical and translational research science during medical school at Mayo Clinic, and completed Internal Medicine Residency at New York Hospital - Weill Cornell Medical Center. He has studied proBNP and its role in heart failure and hypertension, adiponectin and its association with atrial fibrillation, and most recently machine learning algorithms to predict survival in heart failure. He was a hospitalist at University of Pennsylvania and UC San Diego while completing board certification in clinical informatics with an emphasis on handoff design and implementation. He chose UW because of its strong clinical training paired with support to pursue a research career. He is happily married to his wife Ali Mendelson, a Palliative Care physician at UW. They have a Tibetan Spaniel named Biscuit. Fima enjoys yoga, spinning with the #UWCardiacSquad on Peloton, travel, photography, food/nutrition, and nature.
