Eric Lazartigues

Eric Lazartigues is an Associate Professor at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, where his research bridges cardiovascular physiology, neuroscience, and pharmacology. His work focuses on the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), hypertension, and neuroinflammation, with recent breakthroughs including the molecular dissection of ACE2 in glucose homeostasis and the role of microglial activation in neurogenic hypertension. His 2025-2026 publications also explore cardiac metabolic remodeling in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, circRNA-based antimiR therapy for hypertension, and estrogen-obesity interactions in thrombosis via protein S suppression. Recognized as a senior professor, he employs deep learning-driven proteomics for gene annotation in RAS and investigates ADAM17-mediated disinhibition of pre-sympathetic neurons, advancing understanding of vascular biology and metabolic crosstalk.
