2009 Lewis Katz Visiting Professorship in Cardiovascular Research
Elizabeth G. Nabel, M.D.
Director
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
National Institutes of Health
"Genomic Medicine: Cardiovascular Insights from a Premature Aging Syndrome"
Elizabeth G. Nabel, M.D. is Director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute at the National Institutes of Health, where she oversees an extensive national research portfolio with an annual budget of approximately $3.0 billion to prevent, diagnose, and treat heart, lung, and blood diseases. Among her leadership efforts, Dr. Nabel launched new scientific programs in the genomics and proteomics of complex diseases, stem and progenitor cell biology, translational research, and global health. As the author of 250 publications, Dr. Nabel has intertwined basic research and translation to clinical medicine throughout her career and has championed the concept of “bench to bedside". Her current research interests are focused on the molecular genetics of vascular diseases, where she has investigated the regulation of smooth muscle cell growth by cell cycle proteins, a process important for the development of atherosclerosis. Her awards include the Willem Einthoven Award, the American Heart Association Distinguished Achievement Award, and the Eugene Braunwald Academic Mentorship Award. She is a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Association of American Physicians (Council), the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences (Council), and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
