Biography
Dr. Nasser is an Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Research and Leadership at The George Washington University. For about ten years, Dr. Nasser practiced as a Physician Assistant (PA) in the Hypertension and Vascular Disease Clinic, and Assistant Medical Director of the Recruitment and Clinical Measures Core on a National Institutes of Health Center Grant in Detroit, MI. During her tenure as a PA, she cared for patients in the out-patient and in-patient settings, as well as those participants in several clinical research trials. While functioning as a PA, she attended the University of Michigan, School of Public Health and obtained her Master’s of Public Health Degree with a specialization in Epidemiology. She then pursued a Doctorate of Philosophy degree in 2011 with a concentration in Physiology, as she also has a passion to teach others and a deep appreciation for how the human body maintains homeostasis and understanding human physiologic functions as they relate to preventative health measures, public health, and the translational research field. Dr. Nasser has co-authored numerous journal articles and several book chapters focusing on cardiovascular disease/hypertension and ethnic disparities. Her expertise is focused upon evaluating the factors impacting racial disparities, specifically cardiovascular, and translating evidence-based methods to curb these effects.
