Data and Disparity

In this episode, Dr. Judith Flores sits down with Dr. Priscilla Duran Luciano, postdoctorate research fellow at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, to discuss hereditary cardiac amyloidosis in Dominican and Hispanic communities—an often-overlooked condition tied to a specific genetic mutation. They explore why symptoms can be missed, the importance of clinical suspicion and genetic testing, and the challenges of access in under-resourced communities. Priscilla also shares her journey from medical school in the Dominican Republic to her research career, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive care, data disaggregation, and increasing Hispanic participation in clinical trials.
