Dr. J. Travis Hinson, a board-certified cardiologist and researcher of heart muscle diseases, is joining the faculties of The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) for Genomic Medicine and UConn Health.
As the second joint faculty member, Hinson plans to focus on combining stem cell technology and biomimetic microtissues to establish human models for two of the most common genetic disorders of the myocardium: dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies.
Hinson comes to JAX and UConn Health from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, a Harvard Medical School teaching affiliate, where he is an instructor in cardiovascular medicine and an associate physician treating patients with inherited forms of cardiovascular diseases.
