Education

Sackner-Bernstein graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering in 1983 (BSEE),. He completed his MD from Jefferson Medical College, during which he moonlit writing code.[3] He completed a residency in internal medicine and subsequently cardiology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. In addition, Sackner-Bernstein completed a research fellowship in heart failure under Milton Packer at Mount Sinai.[4]

Academic, clinical and research experience

Sackner-Bernstein joined the Columbia University faculty in 1993 in the Division of Circulatory Physiology, where he established its clinical research program. He accumulated a large experience with the beta-blocker carvedilol prior to the application by its developer (GlaxoSmithKline) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).[5]

His most cited research focused on whether the newly marketed heart failure drug nesiritide (hr-BNP, Natrecor) was safe and effective, with a call for large-scale clinical trials prior to widespread use.[6][7][8] While nesiritide was projected to generate $1 billion in sales in 2006,[9] these studies triggered controversy[10] that eventually led to markedly lower use by physicians.[11]

Other frequently cited articles include work on Carvedilol [12] and cardiac hypertrophy.[13]

He is also the author of a book on heart disease, Before It Happens To You.[14]

US government projects

Sackner-Bernstein joined the FDA in 2008 as Associate Center Director, leading Post Market Operations as well as Technology and Innovation programs.[15] As the Center's first Associate Center Director for Technology and Innovation, Sackner-Bernstein launched the Innovation Initiative in 2011, [16] which subsequently led to the Early Feasibility Program and laid the foundation for the Breakthrough Device Program.

He also helped establish a formal relationship between FDA and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency),[17] then serving as architect for the initial Entrepreneurs-in-Residence Program. sponsored by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) [18]

Commercial projects

From late 2018 to mid 2019, Sackner-Bernstein served as Chief Medical Officer and EVP, Clinical and Regulatory Affairs for ROX Medical.[19]
