Benjamin Landis, MD

Benjamin Landis, MD is a pediatric cardiologist and physician-scientist whose interests focus on aortic disease (aortopathy) and congenital heart defects. He joined the Yale faculty in 2025 with over 10 years of clinical experience as an aortopathy subspecialist. His research grew from past training in mechanical engineering, bioinformatics, and cardiovascular genetics, and is inspired by the patients he cares for. The work leverages new technologies to analyze human structures, tissues, and cells, including methods for deep molecular profiling and advanced echocardiography analysis. Current projects include patients with aortopathy, such as thoracic aortic aneurysm or their associated genetic conditions, and children with coarctation of the aorta. The overall goal is to advance our understanding of these disease processes and apply this knowledge to develop more precise strategies and treatments that will help patients lead longer and healthier lives.
