Professor of Medicine, Mayo Graduate School of Medicine, Rochester, MinnesotaDr. Joerg Herrmann is Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine, and he serves as the Director of the Cardio-Oncology Clinic and the Research Director of the Ischemic Heart Disease Program.
His research primarily focuses on the interaction of cancer and heart disease, particularly the potentially harmful side effects of cancer therapies on the cardiovascular system. Beyond cardio-oncology, his research interests extend to cardiac biomarkers, immune-metabolism, periprocedural myocardial infarction, and vascular diseases, particularly the development of atherosclerotic plaques and associated complications.
Dr. Herrmann serves as a reviewer for more than 30 journals, including all major cardiovascular journals. He currently is the chair of the Scientific Committee of the International Cardio-Oncology Society and is an associate editor of several journals including the European Heart Journal (EHJ), EHJ Open, Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, and the International Journal of Cardiology, among others. He is also a regular contributor to Braunwald's Heart Disease, the associate editor of Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, and the editor of the Cardio-Oncology Companion Book to Braunwald’s Heart Disease as well as the textbook Clinical Cardio-Oncology.
