One hallmark of a genuine leader is the desire to mentor to others — to enrich the world by passing along lessons learned. One such leader is interventional cardiologist Neal Kleiman, a premier researcher who possesses an innate ability to find meaning in massive volumes of research data. Kleiman has shared his insight and expertise with more than 150 fellows who have studied with him. Kleiman is one of the nation’s foremost researchers in the area of blood clots and antiplatelet therapy (the use of medications to prevent platelets from clumping and blood from clotting). His research lab is recognized nationally for platelet research. There, Kleiman and his associates examine the effects of antiplatelet therapy in patients with coronary artery disease, who undergo angioplasty procedures.
