Dr. Ruberg is also the Director of the Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship Training Program. An active clinical cardiologist and investigator, Dr. Ruberg’s commitment to interdisciplinary research and team science is exemplified by his various responsibilities at BUMC. He is the Director of the Advanced Cardiac Imaging Program at Boston Medical Center – a clinical service involving clinicians and trainees in the Departments of Radiology and Medicine. His clinical interest is in infiltrative cardiomyopathy and he is a participating clinician and researcher in the multi-disciplinary BU Amyloidosis Center and Sarcoidosis Center. He is a nationally recognized expert in cardiac amyloidosis. His clinical and research expertise is in the field of cardiac imaging with interest in refining quantitative MR techniques for application in the clinical care of infiltrative cardiomyopathies. His research has been funded by the American Heart Association (AHA), Amyloidosis Foundation, and NIH. In addition to his own grant awards, Dr. Ruberg is also co-investigator on both BUMC and outside BMC collaborative projects, including the NIH-funded Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer’s Center. Dr. Ruberg is a peer reviewer for numerous journals including Circulation, Annals of Internal Medicine, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, and JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging. He has served as an NIH peer reviewer and is a member of the editorial board of Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging. Dr. Ruberg is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology and the AHA. Dr. Ruberg is an active mentor of Internal Medicine residents and Cardiovascular Medicine fellows. Past projects have involved cardiac imaging and past mentees have reported finding at the major national Cardiology meetings and published reports in the peer reviewed literature.
