Vasan Ramachandran S.
Vasan Ramachandran, MD, FACC, FAHA, is the Founding Dean of the School of Public Health in San Antonio, Texas, a Professor of Medicine and Population Health at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Texas, and a Professor of Public Health at the College of Health, Community and Policy at the University of Texas in San Antonio. Previously, Ramachandran served as the Chief in the Section of Preventive Medicine and Epidemiology in the Department of Medicine and as Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology at Boston University Schools of Medicine (BUSM) and Public Health (BUSPH). He also served as the Principal Investigator of the Framingham Heart Study between 2014 and 2022. Currently, Ramachandran is the Principal Investigator of the Risk Underlying Rural Areas Longitudinal (RURAL) Study (funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute), which examines cardiovascular and rural health disparities in rural populations in the Southern Appalachia and the Mississippi Delta, the 'Black Belt'.
Dr. Ramachandran is a cardiologist with subspecialty training in echocardiography and cardiovascular epidemiology. His research is focused on: 1) Rural health disparities and social determinants of health. 2) Genomic and non-genomic biomarkers of cardiometabolic and CVD risk. 3) Epidemiology of high blood pressure and heart failure. 4) Population-based echocardiography, vascular tonometry, and exercise performance.4) Perturbation epidemiology, evaluating cardiovascular resilience to standardized microstressors.
