Director, Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease · Consultant Cardiac Electrophysiologist, WellSpan Health
Dr. Chahal leads a clinical and research program focused on the people and families affected by inherited cardiac disease. The team is at the intersection of electrophysiology, advanced imaging, and genomic discovery to improve how cardiovascular risk is recognized and understood.
Through the Gene Health Project (part of Helix Research Network), the lab works alongside diverse communities, including Plain communities, to make population genomics more representative, practical, and connected to better care.
