Dr Judy S Choi

Judy is a postdoctoral researcher in the Cardiovascular Inflammation and Redox Biology laboratory at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute.

She was awarded her PhD from Monash University in 2025, where her doctoral research focused on identifying novel strategies to lessen inflammatory-driven cardiac injury in cardiovascular disease.

Her research aims to explore pharmacotherapies targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome-gasdermin D pathways to reduce unresolved inflammation following myocardial infarction. By genetically and pharmacologically manipulating this pathway, she hopes to improve cardiac function under diabetic conditions after an acute myocardial infarction.
