Joseph Pierre AbouMsallem

Joseph Pierre AbouMsallem is a Research Fellow in the Cardiology department at Erasmus Medical Center. His work focuses on the intersection of cardiovascular disease and oncology, with particular expertise in bidirectional relationships between heart failure and cancer.

His primary research interests include:

• Cardio-Oncology
• Heart Failure
• Cancer Research
• Mendelian Randomization
• Oxidative Stress
• Hypertension

Dr. AbouMsallem's research explores how heart failure may drive cancer development and progression, as well as cardiotoxic effects of cancer treatments. His work employs advanced epidemiological methods including Mendelian randomization to establish causal relationships between risk factors and disease outcomes. He investigates biomarkers like Peroxiredoxin-4 for early detection of heart failure and develops innovative therapeutic approaches including siRNA-based treatments for hypertension.

His publication record demonstrates expertise across multiple domains: congestive heart failure (100% engagement), malignant neoplasms (85%), biological markers (46%), and urinary tract cancer (40%). His collaborative research appears in high-impact journals including Kidney Medicine, JACC: CardioOncology, and European Journal of Heart Failure.
