Professor of Surgery

C. Keith Ozaki, MD, the John. A. Mannick Professor of Surgery at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, serves as an academic vascular surgeon and Director of Vascular Surgery Research at the Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center of Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Beyond his many clinical (over 300 cases per year) and teaching (Director of Resident Research) contributions, Ozaki has led basic and translational vascular research efforts that broadly aim to delineate how physical forces alter the morphology of the blood vessel wall. Recent investigations have focused on inflammatory and adipose driven mechanisms of these adaptations, and interventions such as short-term dietary restriction to modulate these responses.
