Dr. Jonathan D. Marmur is a Professor of Medicine at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. After graduating from Laval University in Quebec City, Dr. Marmur furthered his education with a residency in Internal Medicine at McGill University, followed by a Cardiology Fellowship at the University of Toronto and an Interventional Cardiology Fellowship at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, NY.
His career spans decades of in-depth research and clinical work in Interventional Cardiology, a journey supported by various esteemed organizations, including the Ontario Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Medical Research Council of Canada, and the United States National Institutes of Health. Over the years, Dr. Marmur has lent his expertise to training hundreds of physicians in the field of Cardiology. He has served on the editorial boards of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, the Journal of Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine, and the Journal of Invasive Cardiology.
His scholarly contributions range from the study of the vascular response to injury, employing devices like balloon angioplasty, directional coronary atherectomy, and excimer laser, to extensive research in coagulation. In collaboration with his colleagues, Dr. Marmur has patented a novel biomarker (TIMP; tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase) capable of predicting future adverse events such as myocardial infarction and death.
His keen interest in applying recombinant DNA and viral vector technologies to human arterial disease has led to pioneering work in gene therapy and genomics. Recognizing that future advances will likely stem from genomics and its related subfields of functional genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics, Dr. Marmur currently dedicates his research efforts to developing the Downstate Cath Lab GeneBank. This invaluable repository houses molecular genetic, angiographic, and historical information on patients who have undergone cardiac catheterization.
