For that, he was invited to the cardiology department of Baylor College of Medicine, being a Bugher Foundation Fellow of Molecular Biology in Cardiovascular Systems, sponsored by the American Heart Association, in 1990.
During his fellowship and following times, he had done profound research in molecular biology and molecular genetics in cardiomyopathy, sponsored by the AHA and NIH, and several clinical projects on molecular markers for coronary heart diseases. He dedicated his major efforts to finding the mutations of the disease-causing candidate genes and establishing transgenic cell and animal models with the mutations. His works were presented in many national conventions of AHA and ACC and resulted in more than twenty papers published on peer-reviewed professional journals.
