Dr. Sara Ersozlu

I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center (CIRC) at Massachusetts General Hospital since April 2025. I hold board certifications in cardiology in Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as well as in Internal Medicine in Switzerland. Before joining CIRC, I was working as an early-career attending cardiologist at the University Hospital Zurich (USZ). In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I have previously served as Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program at USZ. I completed my training in Cardiology at the University Hospitals Zurich and the Swiss Cardiovascular Center (Inselspital Bern), where I pursued subspecialty training in Multimodality Cardiac Imaging and Failure. My expertise encompasses Echocardiography, Cardiac MRI, CT, SPECT, PET, as well as hybrid imaging techniques including PET/MR, PET/CT, and SPECT/CT. I hold Level II certification of the Society of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR). I serve on multiple Cardiac Imaging Editorial Boards, in the Education Committee and the Residents and Fellow Leaders Committee (2024–2027) of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT), the Social Media Committee (2024–2026) of the SCMR and the Working Group on Myocardial and Pericardial Diseases of the European Society of Cardiology Within MGB, I serve as a Co-Chair of the Internal Medical Graduates Committee of the MGB Postdoc Association. I earned my medical degree and completed my dissertation (Dr.med.) at Charité Medical School in Berlin, Germany. During this time, I was a scholarship recipient of the German National Merit Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes), which fostered my early commitment to academic excellence. Clinically, I am skilled in caring for both in- and outpatient populations, particularly those with multimorbidity and complex multisystem diseases. My subspecialty expertise lies in rare genetic diseases with significant cardiac manifestations, especially storage disorders such as Fabry disease, amyloidosis, and hemochromatosis. My background also includes a solid foundation in basic experimental research, having completed my dissertation in neuroembryological basic research. This work complements my current focus on applied clinical research, with the goal of advancing cardiac care in both rare diseases and common cardiovascular conditions.
