Dr. MacRae currently serves as Vice Chair for Scientific Innovation at the Department of Medicine for Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Boston and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. A cardiologist, geneticist and development biologist, Dr. MacRae works on the human genetics of cardiac and vascular disease, cardiovascular development biology and drug discovery.

In October 2016, Dr. MacRae became the recipient of One Brave Idea, a $75million 5-year research award to study coronary heart disease and its consequences. This unique team-based program is funded by the American Heart Association, Verily and Astra Zeneca. His proposal was chosen from amongst a group of 349 applicants from 22 countries who sought the project to identify an entirely new approach to eradicate the number one killer of Americans with a visionary approach which holds promise for addressing a broad set of diseases.
