Jeffrey Carr, MD, MSc, is the Cornelius Vanderbilt Professor of Radiology, Cardiovascular Medicine and Biomedical Informatics. He leads a research program focused on cardiovascular determinants of health across the lifespan utilizing non-invasive imaging, novel analytic approaches (including artificial intelligence) and imaging informatics platforms. his work in diverse populations to understand the role of coronary calcified plaque by computed tomography supported the recent updates in the AHA/ACC Guidelines for Prevention (2019) and Chest Pain (2021). Current work focuses on understanding the role of the cardiovascular system on cognitive decline and preclinical cardiometabolic phenotypes. 

Dr. Carr received his MD from Vanderbilt School of Medicine followed by post-graduate training in Diagnostic Radiology and Master of Science in Clinical Epidemiology from Wake Forest University. He complete a fellowship in Body and Cardiovascular MRI at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and was a Senior Fellow of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics. He has provided imaging expertise for many of the NHLBI's population based studies of cardiovascular health including: Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA), Women's Health Initiative (WHI) and Jackson Heart Study (JHS). Clinically, he provides care related to prevention and diagnosis of cardiothoracic conditions and is a member of the multidisciplinary care teams for structural heart disease, coronary diseases and adult congenital heart disease.

Dr. Weinger holds the Norman Ty Smith Chair in Patient Safety and Medical Simulation and is a Professor of Anesthesiology, Biomedical Informatics, and Medical Education at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering (Risk and Reliability) in the School of Engineering. 

Dr. Weinger has been teaching and conducting research in human factors engineering and human-centered design in healthcare, clinical informatics, decision making, patient safety and healthcare simulation for three decades. HIs current interests are in the design and implementation of technology that improves the ability of clinicians and patients to enhance individual and population health. Dr. Weinger has more than 200 publications which have been cited more than 5,400 teims (H-index of 39 by Web of Science). He has played an active role in more than 70 grants and contracts (including 15 as PI). A strong advocate for training and mentoring, he has mentored two dozen post-doctoral fellows, nearly 100 pre-doctoral students and numerous faculty working across the US and beyond. He has given nearly 250 invited national and international presentations.

Dr. Weinger received the 2020 A. R. Lauer Safety Award from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES); he was the first physician Fellow of that society. He received the Laufman-Greatbach Award of the Association for the Advancement in Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), its highest honor, "in recognition of leadership and dedication to medical instrumentation, service, patient care and patient safety." Dr. Weinger is also a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). 

He received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and a master's degree in biology (neurosciences) from Stanford University in 1978. He completed his MD at the University of California-San Diego in 1982 and did his anesthesiology residency training at the University of California-San Francisco.
