Ganesh V. Halade, PhD

Ganesh Halade is a cardiovascular research scientist dedicated to understanding how inflammation and immune-responsive metabolic dysregulation contribute to both ischemic (reduced ejection fraction; HFrEF) and non-ischemic (preserved ejection fraction; HFpEF) heart failure. His research focuses on exploring heart failure etiology through an integrative approach, examining splenic leukocytes and cardiac repair mechanisms. He measures inflammatory mediators that impede cardiac repair while investigating lipid mediators that facilitate healing after heart attacks. Halade also delves into the role of the resolution receptor (FPR2) in resolving inflammation in heart failure. His work emphasizes translating findings into human therapies through balanced lifestyle components such as diet, sleep, and exercise, while considering key risk factors like obesity, diabetes, aging, and cardiotoxic medications. Renowned for generating innovative ideas in cardiovascular medicine, Halade is known for his positive and proactive leadership, fostering an inspiring and motivated research team.
