Elaine M Urbina, MD, MS, is the Professor Emeritus of Preventive Cardiology at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Her clinical activities and industry sponsored grants focused on prevention (obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemias). Her research grants concentrated on new non-invasive methods of assessing atherosclerotic CV target organ damage in youth related to CV risk factors especially those that cluster with obesity. She has over 30 years of experience in non-invasive imaging of CV structure and function in large epidemiologic studies such as the Bogalusa Heart Study. She was the PI of a National Institutes of Health grant (NHLBI R01) following the cardiac and vascular effects of obesity and type 2 diabetes on adolescents and an American Heart Association grant evaluating the CV effects of hypertension in adolescents.  She is a member of the International Childhood CV Cohorts Consortium that will be following Bogalusa, Muscatine, Young Finns and other cohorts that collected CV risk factor data in children starting over 40 years ago with the participants now entering middle age.  

Sarah de Ferranti, MD, MPH, is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and Chief of the Ambulatory Cardiology Division at Boston Children's Hospital. She divides her time between clinical and implementation research, and caring for patients with preventive cardiology and congenital heart disease. Her research has included epidemiology, nutrition and pharmaceutical clinical trials, and more recently qualitative and modeling projects. Early on, she developed a definition of pediatric metabolic syndrome. Her first prospective research project, “Inflammation in Children at High Risk for Atherosclerotic Disease”, laid the ground work for a nutritional intervention in adolescents with metabolic syndrome supported by an Eleanor and Miles Shore Scholarship, and subsequently by NHLBI through the K23 mechanism, the first feeding study conducted at Boston Children's Hospital, and the first of its kind in overweight adolescents. She is currently MPI of the Boston Children’s Pediatric Heart Network center grant, and is Associate Director of the Departmental T32. Recent work has focused on Familial Hypercholesterolemia - screening, diagnosing and treating in childhood.
