Aaron Bradley Waxman
MD, PhD, FACP, FCCP
Medicine
Pulmonary Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, Internal Medicine
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Executive Director, Associate Professor
He completed his internship and residency in Internal Medicine at Yale-New Haven Hospital in 1994, and his fellowship training in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Yale University in 1997. He has served on the faculty at Yale School of Medicine, Tufts University School of Medicine, and Harvard Medical School. He directed the Pulmonary Vascular Disease Program at Massachusetts General Hospital until 2009 when he became the Director of the Pulmonary Vascular Disease Program at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
His interests have focused on developing a translational center that integrates clinical and basic research and focuses on a better understanding of the pathogenesis of pulmonary vascular remodeling and the physiology of right ventricular adaptation to changes in the pulmonary vascular bed. A direct product of this program is the newly organized Dyspnea and Performance Evaluation Center at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital that is also under Dr. Waxman’s leadership. His academic interests include the role of inflammatory mediators in pulmonary vascular remodeling and right ventricular-pulmonary arterial coupling.
