Professor Joseph Hill

Dr. Hill’s research focuses on molecular mechanisms of remodeling in disease-stressed myocardium. He graduated with an MD, PhD from Duke University. Next, he pursued postdoctoral training at the Institut Pasteur, followed by clinical training in Internal Medicine and Cardiology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School. Dr. Hill served on faculty at the University of Iowa for 5 years before moving in 2002 to the University of Texas Southwestern to assume the role of Chief of Cardiology and Director of the Moss Heart Center. Dr. Hill’s research group strives to decipher mechanisms of structural, functional, metabolic, and electrical remodeling in heart disease with an eye toward therapeutic intervention. He has received numerous recognitions and awards, including election to the Association of American Professors and the 2018 Research Achievement Award from the International Society for Heart Research. Presently, he serves as Editor-in-Chief of Circulation.
