Trisha L. Roy, MD, PhD

Associate Professor of Cardiovascular Surgery
Houston Methodist Hospital
Houston, Texas

Dr. Trisha Roy is a vascular surgeon-scientist at Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center, where she specializes in limb preservation and the care of patients with advanced peripheral artery disease. Her clinical and research mission is centered on saving limbs and improving quality of life through more precise, personalized treatment strategies.

Dr. Roy leads a translational research program focused on developing advanced imaging techniques to better characterize vascular disease and guide intervention. Her work challenges conventional angiography-based decision-making by introducing MRI-based approaches that reveal vessel wall biology, plaque composition, and treatment-relevant features not otherwise visible. She also leads efforts in endovascular device evaluation and development, bridging engineering, imaging, and clinical care to improve outcomes in complex vascular disease.

She completed her vascular surgery residency and PhD in vascular imaging at the University of Toronto through the Surgeon-Scientist Training Program, where she also earned her undergraduate degree in Materials Engineering and her Doctor of Medicine.

Dr. Roy’s work has received national and international recognition and is supported by major funding, including an NIH R01 and an American Heart Association Transformational Project Award. She is also the recipient of the Jerold B. Katz Investigator Award, an endowed award supporting innovation in cardiovascular research. Her prior honors include the Vanier Graduate Scholarship, Canadian Institutes of Health Research project grant, and Heart & Stroke Lewar Centre Innovation Grant. In addition to her academic work, she has translated her research into practice through commercialization efforts, co-founding Magellan Biomedical Inc.
