Sekar Kathiresan - Genetic Mutations

Author Information

Sekar Kathiresan is a prominent figure in the field of genetics, affiliated with the Center for Genomic Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, located in Boston, MA, USA. His research predominantly focuses on the genetic underpinnings of cardiovascular diseases and the clinical applications of genomic data.

Research Contributions

Dr. Kathiresan has significantly contributed to understanding the genetic and clinical determinants of cardiovascular health, with a particular focus on lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risk factors. His recent work includes studies on genome-wide association studies related to abdominal aortic diameter, as well as the application of CRISPR technology for gene editing in non-human primates. Additionally, his research has explored the impact of habitual alcohol intake on cardiovascular health and the genetic diversity in lipid studies. He has also been involved in pioneering work assessing the utility of genome sequencing as a diagnostic tool compared to standard care methods.

Aliases

Dr. Kathiresan is also known by several aliases, including S Kathiresan, Sekar Kathiresan, and Sek Kathiresan.
