Sara N. Koenig

Sara N. Koenig's work spans cardiovascular biology and genetics, including studies of heart valve disease, aortic aneurysms, congenital heart defects, and the molecular signaling (such as Notch1 and purinergic receptors) that contributes to conditions like atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome. Some recent output also touches on pathogen genomic surveillance methods, suggesting an expansion into infectious disease diagnostics. This body of work would suit students interested in molecular and genetic mechanisms of heart disease, using animal models and laboratory techniques.

Publication output rose to a peak around 2019-2020 and has since become more variable and lower, averaging about 3-4 papers per year over the last five years.
