D. Berman Lab
The D. Berman Laboratory is located within the Cedars-Sinai S. Mark Taper Foundation Imaging Center. Daniel Berman, MD, is the director of Cardiac Imaging Research, as well as lead of the D. Berman Laboratory. The research mission of the D. Berman Lab is to use cardiac imaging to discover novel ways to help reduce death and disability from cardiovascular diseases. The D. Berman Lab collaborates closely with the Dey Laboratory and Slomka Laboratory.
The D. Berman Laboratory is affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Cardiac Imaging Research Team within the S. Mark Taper Foundation Imaging Center.

Personal Statement
Daniel S. Berman, MD, is director of cardiac imaging at Cedars-Sinai and professor of medicine at UCLA. He received his medical degree at the University of California, San Francisco, and then trained in internal medicine, nuclear medicine and cardiology at the University of California, Davis. In 1977, he was recruited to Cedars-Sinai to initiate a new program in nuclear cardiology, one of the first of its kind in the U.S. Since then, his career has been devoted to clinical research in developing, validating and applying noninvasive cardiac imaging methods for the detection of coronary disease and for risk assessment of patients once the diagnosis of coronary disease has been made.
