Researcher Awarded $450,000 For Study

Jay Edelberg, M.D., Ph.D., a cardiovascular researcher and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Weill Medical College of Cornell University, has been named a 2001-2004 Paul Beeson Physician Faculty Scholar by the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) and the Alliance for Aging Research. The prestigious honor includes an award of $450,000 to support his research into finding new approaches to reverse vascular changes in the aging heart.

“We have studied the heart problems of the elderly using molecular and cellular approaches,” says Dr. Edelberg.. “With this award, we will investigate the transplantation of bone marrow cells—systemically derived cells—to restore function in the heart.”

Dr. Edelberg, a graduate of Columbia, received an M.D. and Ph.D. from Duke and compeleted postdoctoral studies at Harvard and MIT.

Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of death and disability in older individuals. Unfortunately, the older heart has a limited capacity to develop compensatory blood vessels to supply vulnerable cardiac tissue and this may contribute significantly to cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Edelberg’s research will offer the first definitive evidence of the potential of transplanted bone marrow cells for the treatment of vascular patholog
