    Dr. Scott Damrauer is vascular surgeon-scientist dedicated to advancing the understanding of the biological pathways and mechanisms most relevant in the etiology, progression, and treatment of heart and vascular disease. He is an attending surgeon at the Corporal Michael Crescenz VA Medical Cetner, the Vice Chair for Clinical Research for the Department of Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is also the William Maul Measey Professor of Surgery and a Professor of Genetics. His research leverages his clinical vascular surgery experience to inform population scale genomic research focusing on peripheral artery disease (PAD), abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and thoracic aortic disease (TAD) that he uses to test the causal relationship of risk factors across traits, identify novel therapeutic targets, and develop new ways to use genetics to identify individuals at risk of adverse outcomes. Dr. Damrauer’s work is supported by the VA Office of Research and Development and the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute of the NIH.
