Benjamin Landis, MD, is a pediatric cardiologist and physician-scientist whose research interests primarily focus on aortic disease (aortopathy) and congenital heart defects. He joined the Yale faculty in 2025 and brings over 10 years of clinical experience as an aortopathy subspecialist. His research has evolved from his training in mechanical engineering and bioinformatics to cardiovascular genetics, all while being inspired by patient care. His work leverages new technologies to analyze human structures, tissues, and cells, employing methods such as deep molecular profiling and advanced echocardiography analysis. Current projects involve patients with aortopathy, thoracic aortic aneurysm associated with genetic conditions, and children with coarctation of the aorta. His overarching goal is to advance the understanding of disease processes and to apply this knowledge to develop precise treatment strategies that help patients lead longer, healthier lives.
