Gaetano Santulli, MD, PhD is a principal investigator currently working at Columbia University. A physician-scientist, he received his MD and PhD at the University of Naples "Federico II". Dr. Santulli completed his postdoctoral training at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, supported by an American Heart Association (AHA) fellowship and a Scientist Development Grant. Dr. Santulli's expertise comprises both clinical – he is a cardiologist - and basic research topics, including hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, arrhythmias, vascular disease, microRNA, and mitochondrial pathophysiology. He serves on the editorial boards of numerous medical journals and he is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Cardiovascular Disease (JCvD). He authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and edited several medical books. He recently published 'Adrenal Glands: from pathophysiology to clinical evidence' and 'microRNA: from Molecular Biology to Clinical Practice'. He is a member of several international academic societies, including AHA, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS), American Diabetes Association (ADA), European Association of Heart Failure, European Association of Echocardiography, Acute Cardiovascular Care Association, European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions; European Society of Cardiology (ESC), Working Groups on Hypertension & the Heart, Cardiac Cellular Electrophysiology, Myocardial Function, Cellular Biology of the Heart. He lives in Manhattan.
