David Gutterman, MD
Principal Investigator
Northwestern Mutual Professor, Department of Medicine
dgutt@mcw.edu
Dr. Gutterman is actively involved in clinical practice, supervises a NIH funded research laboratory and provides senior administrative oversight of research administration at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He has served in a leadership role in a variety of national and international cardiovascular scientific organizations.

Andrew D. Kadlec, PhD
MD Student; Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP)
akadlec@mcw.edu
Andy Kadlec is an MD/PhD student in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at MCW. His research interests include studying vascular biology from a largely translational approach. In collaboration with Dr. David Gutterman, Dr. Beyer serves as a key mentor and collaborator for his research efforts. Together, they aim to uncover the regulatory role played by the mitochondria within the murine and human vascular endothelium. Andy’s project investigates the interaction between PGC-1alpha, a key player in mitochondrial biogenesis, and telomerase within the context of atherosclerotic disease. They hope to identify novel vascular targets to combat atherosclerosis.
David Chabowski
Graduate Student

As a graduate student in Dr. Gutterman’s lab, I am interested in endothelium-independent vascular pathophysiology. Currently, my focus lays in the area of ion channel-mediated hyperpolarization and relaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells in the microcirculation which is critical in regulating myocardial perfusion. Using cannulated vessels in combination with electrophysiological and molecular techniques, I plan to examine the role coronary artery disease (CAD) has in modulating voltage-activated potassium channel-mediated hyperpolarization of vascular smooth muscle cells and dilation of resistant coronary arterioles.
