B. Report of Current Research Activities

1. Bench Research

1. “Role of the Ets Factor NERF in B Cell Function” (Principal Investigator) The purpose of this project is to identify the role of the Ets transcription factor NERF in regulating the expression of genes involved in B cell function and differentiation. In particular the tyrosine kinase blk has been identified as a NERF target gene.

2. “Role of the Ets Factor NERF in Vasculogenesis” (Principal Investigator)

In addition to its function in B cell function, we have determined a role for NERF in

Page 6: Date Prepared: October 7, 2010 - BU

6

endothelial function and vascular development. This project is designed to determine the role of NERF during vascular development and endothelial differentiation.

3. “Identification of Novel Regulators of Angiogenesis” (Principal Investigator)

We have identified that a subset of Ets factors including NERF and ELF-1 are up-regulated during vascular development. The purpose of this grant is to explore the role of these factors during angiogenesis associated with tumors and other diseases.

4. “The Role of ESE-1 in Vascular Inflammation” (Principal Investigator)

We have determined that the Ets factor ESE-1 although not expressed at baseline in blood vessels, is highly inducible in response to inflammatory cytokines, and is a novel transcriptional mediator of inflammation. The purpose of this project is to further characterize the role of ESE-1 in regulating vascular inflammation.

5. “The Role of Angiopoietin-1 in Rheumatoid Arthritis” (Principal Investigator)

Angiopoietin-1 is a novel angiogenic factor. We have recently determined that Angiopoietin-1 is up-regulated in rheumatoid arthritis. The purpose of this project is to further define the role of Angiopoeitin-1 in inflammatory arthritis.

Report of Clinical Activities:

A. Licensure 1990 Massachusetts Medical License # 71658 B. Practice Activities

1. Description of Clinical Practice: The major focus of my clinical practice is preventive cardiology. The practice is based in the Shapiro Clinical Center of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

2. Patient load: The patient population consists of patients with a variety of lipid disorders and those at risk for or who have established heart disease. Treatment approaches used include the use of a variety of medications such as lipid lowering medications and a focus on lifestyle modifications.

3. Clinical contributions: As the Director of Preventive Cardiology, I teach residents and fellows in the management of patients from a preventive standpoint. We have also developed a Prevention training course that allows other clinicians to develop lipid clinics within their practices.

4. Inpatient duties: Attend on General Cardiology and Cardiology Consult services.

5. Participate as regular Reader of Electrocardiograms

C. Clinical Innovations

Page 14: Date Prepared: October 7, 2010 - BU

14

As the Director of Preventive Cardiology I developed a multidisciplinary training program to allow Cardiology and Internal Medicine practice groups in Massachusetts develop on site Preventive Cardiology programs consisting of a team of practitioners including a physician, cardiovascular nurse, and dietician. The training course was conducted for two days at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center followed by an on-site visit at the Internal Medicine or Cardiology practice site.

Narrative Report: Over the past twenty years I have been active in basic research, clinical activities, teaching, and administration. I have devoted approximately 65 percent of my time to basic research, with a predominant focus on the role of selected transcription factors in regulating vascular inflammation, angiogenesis, and blood vessel development. Clinically, I have served in the role of Director of Preventive Cardiology (15%), an outpatient prevention program directed at treating patients with a variety of lipid disorders and other cardiovascular risk factors for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. In addition, I have served as a Cardiology attending on the inpatient ward services. My role as teacher (5%) has included the teaching of medical students, resident, and cardiology fellows in preventive cardiology, Finally my role in administration (15%) has included serving as Director of Preventive Cardiology, the Associate Chief of the Division of Molecular and Vascular Medicine, and as Special Advisor at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), in the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases. With respect to basic research, I received an NIH Physician-Scientist award in 1995, and started an independent laboratory at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center at the Harvard Institutes of Medicine in 1997 with a specific focus on the role of members of the ETS transcription factor in regulating vascular specific genes. More importantly we identified important roles for selected members of this family in regulating vascular inflammation, angiogenesis, endothelial differentiation, and vascular development. The lab has been supported by 5 independent R01 grants from the NIH, an Established Investigator Award from the American Heart Association, and industry support from Johnson and Johnson. As teacher, I have had a longstanding interest in training medical students, medical residents, endocrine and cardiology fellows in Preventive Cardiology, who rotate through the Cardiovascular Health and Lipid Center that I direct in the Shapiro Clinical Center. I have also participated in a variety of CME activities at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School with contributions in the area of Preventive Cardiology. From an administrative standpoint, I have served as the Director of Preventive Cardiology since 1997, and as the Associate Chief of the Division of Molecular and Vascular Medicine since 2008. My role as Associate Chief includes mentoring young faculty with regarding their basic science career development, recruitment of new faculty to the Center for Vascular Biology Research (CVBR), and serving as Chair for our annual CVBR, retreat. At the national level I have a position at the NHLBI as a special advisor to their Vascular Biology and Hypertension branch. I travel once a month to the NIH to advise them on the development of new initiatives in vascular biology research.
