Dean of @WeillCornell and provost for medical affairs of @Cornell cardiologist and clinical researcher. Past President @American_Heart We’re #ChangingMedicine
As part of cultivating my leadership bench here @WeillCornell, I saw a need for executive leadership to support academic and clinical decision-making. I am overjoyed to promote Geraldine to executive vice dean, a role that taps into her strength as a tireless faculty advocate.
Dr. Geraldine McGinty, healthcare leader and radiologist, has been appointed executive vice dean. Working closely with Dean Harrington (@HeartBobH) and Cathy Garzio, EVP/COO, she will provide strategic guidance on a host of organizational priorities. https://t.co/ueQt7ehN69
Strong communities depend on strong science. A temporary delay of the OMB grantmaking proposal isn't enough. Congress must pursue a bipartisan, long-term solution before Dec. 11. Tell your lawmakers to act: https://t.co/XWDu4fLf4R
We so pleased and excited for @landau_lab to take on this leadership role at this critical time in biomedicine. Looking forward to seeing you do creative, innovative and practice-changing work. @WeillCornell
The rumors are true! I am beyond excited to take on this new adventure as the inaugural chair of the Systems and Computational Biology (SCB) Department at @WeillCornell thread 👇
Proud to welcome Dr. Timothy R. Donahue as Chair of Surgery at @WeillCornell and Surgeon-in-Chief at @nyphospital, effective Sept. 1. A renowned surgeon-scientist, he'll advance innovation, AI, collaboration, and excellence in patient care, research, and education. Congrats! 👏
Thank you to Robert A. Harrington, MD, for delivering the inaugural Dr. Valentin Fuster Keynote Lecture at the Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Research Forum on “Data Science, AI and Innovation in Cardiovascular Health and Medicine – What’s Old is New (and Very Exciting!).

During the academic year of a medical school, there are some special days, such as the white coat ceremony and match day. Today was one of those days as we celebrated @WeillCornell graduation at historic @carnegiehall Congrats to the new MDs, PAs, MS and PhD grads!
Few people have shaped cardiovascular medicine so profoundly or for so long as Dr. Eugene Braunwald. For generations of discovery, his contributions helped define modern cardiology and strengthened the foundation on which today’s breakthroughs stand.
His legacy lives on not only in these medical discoveries, but in the people he inspired and mentored, including many leaders who continue to shape cardiovascular care today.
A sad day for global cardiology. We met when I was a research fellow @DukeHeartCenter He was always kind and generous with his time. I had privilege to collaborate with him on many trials and @American_Heart activities. He was an extraordinary man who taught us much. God bless.
The American Heart Association mourns the passing of the legendary cardiologist Eugene Braunwald, M.D., widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in the history of cardiovascular medicine. Over seven decades, his work reshaped the understanding and treatment of heart disease, leading many to call him the father of modern cardiology.
Braunwald was a lifelong contributor to the American Heart Association, helping advance its research and scientific mission, and was honored with some of the Association’s highest honors for his lasting influence on cardiovascular care and research. His influence extended well beyond his own discoveries, as generations of Association‑supported investigators, clinicians and academic leaders were trained by Braunwald or guided by the clinical trial standards and mentorship models he helped establish.
