Saumya Das

Saumya Das, MD, PhD is Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, a faculty member of the Cardiac Arrhythmia Service and the co-Director of the Inherited Arrhythmic Clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Das completed his undergraduate training at Harvard College, graduating summa cum laude in Biology. He completed his MD-PhD training at Harvard Medical School (in the Health Sciences and Technology pathway) with his PhD in neurobiology. Following that, Dr. Das completed his residency in internal medicine at MGH, and fellowship training in cardiovascular disease and clinical cardiac electrophysiology also at MGH. His research has focused on signaling pathways in electrical and structural remodeling in models of heart failure and cardiometabolic disease with a focus on extracellular vesicles and their cargo RNAs as biomarkers and mediators of intercellular signaling. He has been the lead PI of several National Center for Advanced Translation (NCAT) grants to discover and validate RNA biomarkers of heart remodeling in heart failure as part of the NIH Extracellular RNA Communication Consortium where he has served as a co-chair of the steering committee. He was inducted in the American Society of Clinical Investigation in 2020 and also received an NIH EIA award (R35).
