The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $142,776 Project Grant (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to support the career development of Dr. Sumeet Khetarpal, a physician-scientist and incoming Instructor at MGH. The 5-year grant will provide mentored research training for Dr. Khetarpal in exercise physiology, cardiac metabolism, and proteomics to catalyze his transition to an independent academic physician-scientist focused on cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. The research will investigate the role of heart-derived proteins (myokines) in the heart's adaptation to exercise and the potential of novel myokines to mitigate heart failure. This work aims to provide a fundamental understanding of how exercise modulates the heart's protein secretion and generate a dataset of the "cardiac secretome" of exercise, laying the groundwork for Dr. Khetarpal's future independent research.
