Rosenzweig to head Leducq Foundation cardiovascular rese...( The four other American investigators...),Health

The four other American investigators on the research team are Jonathan Seidman, PhD, of Harvard Medical School; Christine Seidman, MD, of Brigham and Women's Hospital; Bruce Spiegelman, PhD, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; and Robert Gerszten, MD, of the Massachusetts General Hospital.

"It's an honor to be working with such an outstanding group of investigators both in the U.S. and Europe," says Rosenzweig. "Dr. Aitman and I are extremely fortunate that internationally renowned researchers in both heart disease and metabolic disease are joining in this effort. Each brings a complementary set of skills and expertise to bear on this serious problem and I'm optimistic that the collaboration among these scientists will lead to significant progress in our efforts against these widespread conditions."
