He was a visiting scientist in Kantonsspital Basel, Switzerland (1992–1994), and initiated work on vasoprotective actions of estrogens and nitric oxide. In 1994, he joined the Department of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and investigated the roles of adenosine and estrogen metabolites in inducing cardiorenal protective actions. Later, he got a joint appointment at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital Zürich, and at present, continues his research on estrogen metabolism, adenosine, and cardiovascular disease at this institution as a professor.
