Biography

Visit Dr. Yutzey's Lab Web Site.

Katherine E. Yutzey, PhD, professor, joined the Division of Molecular Cardiovascular Biology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in 1995.

Dr. Yutzey is the first recipient of the Fifth Third Bank/Charlotte R. Schmidlapp Women Scholars Award and was also a recipient of a Children's Hospital Medical Center Trustee Award. Her work is also supported by grants from National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the American Heart Association.

The focus of Dr. Yutzey's research program is the regulation of normal and abnormal heart development. Congenital heart defects represent one of the most common classes of human birth defects. Increasing evidence exists for a genetic basis of certain instances of congenital heart disease.
