BIOGRAPHY
Michael Honigberg, MD, MPP, FACC, is a cardiologist-investigator in the Cardiology Division at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and Associate Member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. He received his MD from Harvard Medical School, trained in internal medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and completed clinical and research fellowship in cardiovascular medicine at MGH. He provides care to patients through the MGH Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Center and Women’s Heart Health Program. Dr. Honigberg’s research program combines epidemiology, human genetics, multi-omics approaches, and imaging to understand emerging cardiovascular risk factors, e.g., sex-specific risk factors in women (e.g., preeclampsia) and their underlying mechanisms. He recently led the largest genome-wide association study to date of preeclampsia and gestational hypertension, yielding new insights into shared genetic architecture with cardiovascular disease. His research program is supported by the U.S. NIH/NHLBI, American Heart Association, Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), and industry collaborators Dr. Honigberg is the recipient of the Jeremiah Stamler Award from the Northwestern Cardiovascular Young Investigators’ Forum, the Douglas P. Zipes Distinguished Young Scientist Award from the American College of Cardiology, and the Young Physician-Scientist Award from the American Society for Clinical Investigation.
