Overview
Dr. Mark Blaser is a Research Scientist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a Research Associate at Harvard Medical School. He obtained his Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering – Minor in Biomedical Engineering, 2009) from McGill University. He completed his Ph.D (Biomedical Engineering, 2016) at the University of Toronto in the laboratory of Professor Craig Simmons, where he was a CIHR Frederick Banting and Charles Best Canada Graduate Scholar. During his Ph.D, he also spent time as a CIHR Michael Smith Visiting Scholar at the University of California - Irvine with Professor Arash Kheradvar. His doctoral dissertation won the 2017 John Leyerle-CIFAR Prize for the best interdisciplinary research at the University of Toronto.

In 2017, Dr. Blaser joined Professor Elena Aikawa’s research group at Brigham and Women’s Hospital as a postdoctoral fellow. There, his work has focused on the application of multi-omics and systems biology approaches to study extracellular vesicle-driven cardiovascular calcification, congenital calcific aortic valve disease, and how bio-engineered model systems recapitulate unique aspects of human disease.

Bibliographic
Publications listed below are automatically derived from MEDLINE/PubMed and other sources, which might result in incorrect or missing publications. Faculty can login to make corrections and additions.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
