Join us for GW Biomedical Cross-disciplinary Seminar Series: Connecting Academic Research & Inquiry Across Disciplines—a series of seminars that will explore a new cross-disciplinary topic each year. For the inaugural year, the focus is "Inflammation in Chronic Disease: Cause, Consequence, or Both?" and will address both the treatment and prevention of chronic inflammatory diseases.
This webinar is on "T cells Turn Up the Pressure" with Meenakshi S. Madhur, MD, PhD, FACC, is an assistant professor, Department of Medicine, Divisions of Clinical Pharmacology and Cardiology; assistant professor, Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics; and associate director of the Vanderbilt Institute for Infection, Immunology and Inflammation at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.
Dr. Madhur's clinical interest areas are general cardiology and hypertension, and research interest is in inflammation in hypertension and aortic dissection. She studies the role of T cells and T cell-derived cytokines in hypertension and renal/vascular dysfunction.
In 2019, Dr. Madhur received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government to outstanding scientists and engineers who are beginning their independent research careers and who show exceptional promise for leadership in science and technology. She is also the recipient of the American Heart Association Established Investigator Award, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director’s New Innovator Award.
