معرفی
Dr. Luke Brewster is an Associate Professor in the Department of Surgery at Emory University School of Medicine, with joint appointments in the Wallace Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering (Georgia Tech/Emory) and the Atlanta Clinical & Translational Science Institute. As a surgeon-scientist, he investigates biomechanical mechanisms in peripheral vascular disease and develops regenerative strategies for ischemic tissue.
- Clinical affiliations: Emory University Hospital, Atlanta VA Healthcare System (Section Chief of Vascular Surgery)
- Research focus: Pathologic vessel remodeling, atherosclerosis, stem cell therapies, and PAD therapeutics
- Education: MD (Saint Louis University), PhD (Loyola University), MA (Neiswanger Institute), BA (Benedictine College)
His laboratory employs animal models and human arterial tissue to quantify biomechanical forces in vascular disease, revealing critical insights for novel therapeutics. Recent work explores exercise therapy, nanotechnology, and stem cell interventions in PAD, with a focus on diabetes and smoking impacts.
Dr. Brewster has secured federal, foundation, and industry grants, contributing to over 150 publications. His collaborations bridge bioengineering and clinical vascular surgery, emphasizing interdisciplinary solutions to arterial disease.
