Dr. Fetterman <span>is a basic and translational scientist studying the intersections of mitochondrial physiology, mitochondrial genetics and cardiovascular disease.\u00a0She has developed and applied\u00a0bioinformatics methods for identifying and annotating mitochondrial DNA variants in population-based cohorts. She has published a rigorous protocol for biobanking of whole human hearts preserved to maintain the spatial resolution for multiomics, which served as the basis for her funded MPI R01 to build a cardiovascular biobank in the Framingham Heart Study. Dr. Fetterman\u2019s second research focus is on the cardiovascular health effects, health perceptions and social media marketing of new and emerging tobacco products to inform policy. Her research has shown that e-cigarette use is associated with increased vascular stiffness, and the flavoring additives used in tobacco products induce endothelial cell toxicity. She is a Framingham Heart Study investigator and fellow of the American Heart Association.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to Dr. Jessica L.
