Dr. Mansoor Husain is Executive Director of the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research and Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto. He is also the Attending Staff Cardiologist at University Health Network.
Dr. Husain completed post-doctoral research training in the Program of Excellence in Cardiovascular Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research is focused on the molecular bases of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis and heart failure, with a particular emphasis on identifying therapeutic targets involved in pathophysiology. Dr. Husain’s research has improved our understanding in two areas of cardiovascular medicine: (1) the molecular regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell biology and (2) the cardiovascular mechanisms of glucagon-like peptide-1 and related anti-diabetic drugs.
