Stacy Desine

I am a Clinical and Translational Research Coordinator II for the Vanderbilt Center for Translational and Clinical Cardiovascular Research (VTRACC). I work on translational vascular research studies. In particular, our studies focus on the genetics of cardiometabolic diseases, with a particular focus on functional genomics and clinical translation. Currently, we are also investigating the effects of PDE5 inhibition in obese adults, as well as Probing the determinants of α-aminoadipic acid (2-AAA) and understanding the relationship to diabetes
