Professional Highlights
Dr. Duke Cameron joined the faculty of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 1987, and in 1993 he held a joint appointment at the Royal Childrens Hospital in Melbourne, Australia as a locum consultant surgeon.
His early investigative work focused on inflammatory mediators in cardio-pulmonary bypass, but more recently has shifted to clinical research in adult and pediatric cardiac surgery. His experience and personal series of valve-sparing aortic root replacements have made him a renowned speaker throughout the world on the subject of aortic surgery.
The author of over 125 peer reviewed articles, Dr. Cameron has also co-edited three books, including Current Therapy in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, The Johns Hopkins Manual of Cardiac Surgery and Critical Heart Disease in Infants and Children.
