About
Kaisa M. Koistinen is a leading researcher in molecular lipidomics and its application to cardiovascular disease. Her work centers on the development and application of high-throughput quantitative lipidomics to identify novel lipid biomarkers that predict clinical outcomes. She made a major contribution with her 2011 paper on "High throughput quantitative molecular lipidomics" (173 citations), which established a foundational methodology for the field. Her most impactful work, however, is her 2018 study on "Plasma concentrations of molecular lipid species predict long-term clinical outcome in coronary artery disease patients" (157 citations). In this landmark investigation, she and her team demonstrated that specific molecular lipid species and ceramide ratios are powerful predictors of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) over a median follow-up of nearly five years in over 500 coronary artery disease patients. This work has profound implications for risk stratification and personalized medicine in cardiology, moving beyond traditional lipid measures to a more precise, molecular-level understanding of disease progression.
