Vassilios J. Bezzerides

Vassilios J. Bezzerides is a physician scientist at Boston Children's Hospital, with academic affiliations to Harvard University and Harvard Medical School. His work bridges clinical practice in pediatric cardiology with cutting-edge research in molecular biology and cardiac gene therapy.

• Undergraduate: University of Washington (1998)
• PhD: Biophysics, Harvard University (2004)
• MD: Harvard Medical School (2006)
• Internship: Boston Children's Hospital (2009)
• Fellowship: Pediatric Cardiology (2011), Cardiac Electrophysiology (2013)

His research focuses on genetic and molecular mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies, with particular expertise in gene therapy, iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, and CaMKII signaling. Recent work explores N-terminal acetylation dysregulation, CRISPR/AAV genome editing, and CITED4 gene therapy for cardiac remodeling.

Publications highlight trends in inherited arrhythmia syndromes, stem cell applications in cardiovascular disease modeling, and pharmacological interventions for pediatric cardiac disorders. Key keywords include Cardiology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Stem Cell Research, Pediatrics, and Bioengineering.
