Elazer R. Edelman is an American

Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.[3][4]

At BWH, he serves as a senior attending physician in the coronary care unit. He is currently the Chief Scientific Advisor for the journal Science Translational Medicine.[5]

Edelman was elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2012 for contributions to the design, development, and regulation of local cardiovascular drug delivery and drug eluting stents. He is also a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, National Academy of Inventors and the National Academy of Medicine.[6][7][8][9]

Background and education

Edelman was raised in the

Robert Langer to define the mathematics of regulated and controlled drug delivery. Edelman completed his medical training at Brigham and Women's Hospital and is board certified in internal medicine and cardiology. Following this, he spent six years as a research fellow under the tutelage of Prof. Morris J. Karnovsky to work on the biology of vascular repair.[10] Edelman and his wife, Cheryl, have 3 children: Alex, A.J.
, and Austin.

Research

Edelman is a major advocate of multidisciplinary research.

drug-eluting stents.[14][15] Edelman's research programs fall in the following general categories:[10]

  • polymer-based controlled and modulated drug delivery
  • vascular biology, glycobiology, and growth factor biochemistry
  • tissue engineering
  • biomaterials and tissue interactions
  • device biology

Awards and honors

Edelman has authored or co-authored more than 680 original scientific publications, holds some 80 patents, and has trained more than 300 students and post-doctoral fellows. He has served on several advisory boards including the Science Board to the Food and Drug Administration.[10][16]

Edelman has been elected a fellow of the Association of American Physicians, American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, American Society of Clinical Investigators, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Association of University Cardiologists, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, National Academy of Medicine, and National Academy of Inventors. He received the Officer's Cross of the Spanish Order of Civil Merit in 2010.[17]
