Andreas Beyer

Andreas M. Beyer is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Medicine and Physiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). He also serves as the co-director of the Basic and Translational Research Program in Cardio-Oncology. His research primarily focuses on the intersection of cardiovascular health and cancer treatment, particularly how chemotherapy can impact cardiovascular outcomes and the underlying mechanisms involved in these processes.123

Academic Background and Research Focus

Dr. Beyer has extensive training in genetics and physiology, which informs his work in developing novel approaches to understand cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease and hypertension. His lab employs advanced techniques such as video microscopy, fluorescent microvascular imaging, and the creation of genetic rodent models to investigate vascular function and blood pressure dynamics.13

Clinical Interests

His clinical interests encompass general cardiology, inheritable heart failure, and myocardial infarction. Dr. Beyer's work aims to translate findings from human tissue studies into clinically relevant therapies that can improve patient outcomes in both cardiovascular health and cancer survivorship.23

Publications and Contributions

Dr. Beyer has contributed to numerous publications in high-impact journals, focusing on topics such as mitochondrial signaling, endothelial dysfunction related to COVID-19, and disparities in cardiovascular disease outcomes among cancer survivors.24 His research is pivotal in advancing the understanding of how cancer therapies can affect heart health, thereby guiding future therapeutic strategies.
