Heart Matters

Jonathan and Christine Seidman —both professors at Harvard Medical School—run a household and a lab together. They’ve been collaborating for decades to explore the causes of hereditary heart disease, especially hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and their skills in this area complement each other perfectly. Jonathan Seidman is a PhD and geneticist while Christine Seidman—who also has an appointment at Brigham and Women’s Hospital—is an MD and cardiologist.
