Research Interests:

Marbán, professor of cardiology, physiology and biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins, is widely recognized for his accomplishments leading major multidisciplinary programs in heart research. He will assume his new responsibilities at Cedars-Sinai this fall.

Marbán’s research focusing on the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in heart disease has translated into key discoveries in such areas as gene therapy, stem cells and drug treatments for heart attack, heart failure and stroke.

As the first director of the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, Marbán will integrate, oversee and continue the development of Cedars-Sinai’s world-renowned cardiac programs -- in cardiology, cardiac surgery, cardiac imaging and other areas -- working closely with Cedars-Sinai’s department chairs and division directors. The Heart Institute will bring together all of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center’s heart-related research, clinical and educational programs.
