Rahul C. Deo, M.D., Ph.D.

Cardiologist

Dr. Rahul Deo is a cardiologist in the Cardiovascular Care and Prevention Center at UCSF Medical Center who is particularly interested in patients and their families with inherited cardiovascular disease, particularly cardiomyopathies or diseases of the heart muscle.

Deo, a native of Canada, earned a medical degree at Cornell University Medical College and a doctorate in molecular biophysics at Rockefeller University, both in New York, as part of the Tri-Institutional M.D.-Ph.D. Program. He completed an internship and residency in internal medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and a cardiology fellowship at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He then conducted postdoctoral research in human genetics and computational biology at Harvard Medical School. Deo's research interests focus on large-scale genetic and genomic data to develop personalized diagnosis and therapy in cardiovascular medicine. He is an assistant professor in residence in medicine at UCSF.
