Research

Dr. Gandhi’s research interests include Vitamin D, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and chronic stress. Patients with HIV/AIDS are living longer due to highly active antiretroviral treatment and are developing chronic illnesses similar to the general population. Many of these chronic illnesses are due to poor lifestyle including diet, lack of exercise and chronic stress. Dr. Gandhi conducts studies addressing the impact of nutrition and exercise on chronic illnesses.

Industry Relationships

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.

Dr. Gandhi has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.

Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
