Fundamental Mechanisms of Cell Death and Roles in Heart Disease

This grand round has already taken place.

Richard N. Kitsis, MD, is Professor of Medicine (Cardiology) and Cell Biology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, where he holds the Dr. Gerald and Myra Dorros Chair in Cardiovascular Disease and serves as Director of Einstein’s Wilf Family Cardiovascular Research Institute. A native of Boston, Dr. Kitsis graduated summa cum laude from Harvard College with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and completed medical school at the University of California San Francisco. His research is focused on cell death, particularly as it relates to heart disease. His lab was the first to show that regulated forms of cell death are primarily responsible for cardiac damage during myocardial infarction. In connection with receiving the 2023 Jay & Jeanie Schottenstein Prize in Cardiovascular Science of The Ohio State University, he will present a lecture discussing fundamental mechanisms of cell death and roles in heart disease.
