Dr. Pradeep Natarajan is the Director of Preventive Cardiology and the Paul and Phyllis Fireman Endowed Chair in Vascular Medicine at Mass General Hospital, Associate Director of Personalized Medicine at Mass General Brigham, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Associate Professor of Epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and Associate Member of the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. He received his BA in molecular biology from the University of California, Berkeley, and MD from UCSF. He completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and subsequent cardiology fellowship at the Mass General Hospital in 2015.
His research lab now spans the MGH Cardiovascular Research Center, MGH Center for Genomic Medicine, and Broad Institute's Cardiovascular Disease Initiative. He uses germline and somatic genetic variation to uncover new biology and enable enhanced clinical care for cardiovascular disease. Among his scientific contributions, he has pioneered ‘human knockout’ discovery and investigation to prioritize therapeutic targets, monogenic and polygenic characterization of heritable traits through whole genome sequencing, and the novel concept of somatic mutations contributing to cardiovascular disease.
He has received several awards for his contributions, including the 2023 Joseph A. Vita Award from the American Heart Association, as well as mentoring awards from MGH and Harvard Medical School.
In tandem with his research efforts, Dr. Natarajan oversees clinical and training programs on the prevention of cardiometabolic diseases leading the Mass General Hospital Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Center.
