John T. Wilkins

John T. Wilkins is an Associate Professor at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, affiliated with the Departments of Medicine and Preventive Medicine. His research focuses on cardiovascular disease risk factors, proteomics, and cholesterol metabolism.

• MD and MS in relevant fields
• Collaborator in the National Resource for Translational and Developmental Proteomics
• Contributor to the Human Proteoform Project & Atlas

Wilkins investigates proteoforms of apolipoproteins, particularly apoA1, and their role in refining cardiovascular disease risk prediction. His work bridges top-down proteomics with metabolic health biomarkers.

Recent publications analyze blood pressure trajectories linked to atherosclerosis, lifetime cardiovascular risk quantification, and genetic variants in LDL cholesterol regulation. These studies emphasize longitudinal epidemiological approaches and translational proteomics.
