The Institute’s Medical Director Recognized for His Mission to Innovate an End to Heart Failure
HOUSTON (Oct. 1, 2023) — Innovation Map recently highlighted the cutting-edge research of Emerson Perin, MD, PhD, who is utilizing patients’ stem cells to address a different aspect of heart failure that, until now, had been left untreated: inflammation — how heart failure starts and what keeps it going.
Writer Alice Levitt noted, “Emerson Perin’s end goal isn’t to treat heart failure. The medical director of The Texas Heart Institute says he has his sights set firmly on curing the malady altogether. “And, with the power of innovation and a strong team, the Houston-based cardiologist has a good chance of meeting his objective.”
