Albert J. Sinusas, M.D., is a Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine and Radiology & Biomedical Imaging) at Yale University School of Medicine and holds adjunct roles in Biomedical Engineering. He leads the Yale Translational Research Imaging Center (Y-TRIC) and directs Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging at Yale New Haven Hospital. His roles include Chairman of multiple committees (Yale Radioactive Drug Research Committee, Radiation Safety Committee) and Board Member of the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) for Nuclear/PET imaging. Dr. Sinusas earned his MD from the University of Vermont and completed training in Internal Medicine at the University of Oklahoma and Cardiology/Nuclear Cardiology at the University of Virginia.
His research focuses on cardiovascular imaging innovations, including molecular imaging of myocardial injury, angiogenesis, and peripheral artery disease. His translational work employs multidisciplinary modalities such as PET/CT, SPECT/CT, MRI, and echocardiography. He leads NIH-funded grants and trains researchers through a T32 grant. With over 250 peer-reviewed publications, he co-edited textbooks on cardiovascular molecular imaging and hybrid imaging in cardiovascular medicine.
Key research interests include developing novel imaging tracers, AI-enhanced diagnostic tools, and non-invasive assessment of cardiovascular pathophysiology. Notable contributions include advancements in PET-derived myocardial blood flow quantification and SPECT imaging optimization using deep learning. Dr. Sinusas has received prestigious awards like the SNMMI Hermann Blumgart Award (2008) and is frequently recognized in 'Best Doctors in America.'
He serves on editorial boards for Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, and JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging. His clinical expertise includes ECG, stress testing, and interpretation of SPECT/PET imaging studies. He oversees Y-TRIC’s mission to bridge preclinical and clinical imaging research, fostering collaboration across engineering, radiology, and cardiology.
