The Khatana Lab studies how socioeconomic and structural factors influence cardiovascular and population health. Our work focuses on understanding the relationships between variables such as income, education, and healthcare access, and their effects on health outcomes and healthcare utilization. We use large-scale data and robust analytical methods to inform strategies that can improve cardiovascular health at the population level.
