Biography
Dr. Ge graduated from Shandong University School of Medicine in 1986. He has done clinical and research fellowships at Shandong University, Oregon Health Sciences University and Wake Forest University. He completed his residency in Pediatrics in St Vincent’s Hospital Medical Center, and a pediatric cardiology fellowship at University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and Denver Children’s Hospital. Dr. Ge was faculty at University of Iowa/Children’s Hospital of Iowa, and Baylor College of Medicine/Texas Children’s Hospital/Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital.

Dr. Ge’s clinical interest includes: 1) Congenital and acquired heart diseases from fetuses to adolescents; 2) Cardiovascular imaging, including echocardiography, CT, and CMR; 3) Cardiovascular genetics, including DMD, MFS, TAAD, SCD; and 4) cardiovascular disease prevention in children.

Dr. Ge’s research interest includes: 1) Novel cardiovascular imaging technologies and algorithms, e.g. 3D echocardiography, myocardial deformation imaging, etc; 2) Pathophysiology of genetic cardiomyopathy and heart failure in DMD and SCD; 3) Targeted drug and gene therapy using ultrasound targeted micro-bubbled destruction. He has published over 160 manuscripts and abstracts in peer-reviewed journals.

Dr. Ge is a Top US Doctor by US News and World Report in 2011, 2012, and 2013.

His research has been supported by NIH, AHA, etc. He is on the AHA Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology and other Grant Review Study Sections. He is the Associate Editor of Echocardiography and an ad hoc reviewer for Circulation, JACC, AHA, AJC, Heart, Circulation CV Imaging, JACC Imaging, etc.

Dr. Ge is the Immediate-Past President and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of CNAHA.

Dr. Ge has trained and mentored over 50 pediatric cardiology fellows and 20 Chinese physicians, some of whom have become national and international leaders in pediatric cardiology, echocardiography, etc.
