Barry London

Barry London, MD, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine and the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. He serves as the Director of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine and the Abboud Cardiovascular Research Center, leading both clinical and research initiatives in cardiovascular disease.

Dr. London earned his MD and PhD in Physiology and Biophysics from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. He completed residency training in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Cardiology at Massachusetts General Hospital, followed by a research fellowship in Cardiology at Boston Children’s Hospital.

His research spans molecular physiology, cardiac electrophysiology, and genetics of heart disease, with a focus on ion channels, atrial fibrillation, metabolic regulation, and defibrillation safety. He has contributed to major multi-center genetic studies and clinical trials in cardiovascular therapeutics.

His recent publications reflect strong trends in translational cardiovascular research, combining clinical data with molecular mechanisms. Key areas include genetic risk for arrhythmias, metabolic interventions in heart failure, and safety of cardiac devices during MRI. His work frequently appears in high-impact journals such as Nature Genetics, Circulation, and Journal of the American Heart Association.

Dr. London is actively involved in research leadership and mentorship, though specific scientific awards are not listed in the provided text. He collaborates widely across disciplines, including pulmonary medicine, genetics, and biomedical engineering.

He advises multiple researchers and participates in large-scale collaborative projects, including national biobank studies. His lab is based in the Carver Biomedical Research Building, and he is affiliated with the Cardiovascular Research Center and the Biomedical Science Graduate Program at the University of Iowa.
