Called to Create: An Interview with Professor Demetrios Braddock
December 31, 2021 | By Raquel Sequeira TD ‘21.5
Professor Demetrios Braddock specializes in Hematopathology (diseases of the blood) at the Yale School of Medicine, where his lab studies a group of proteins that are crucial for the proper development of bones. Loss of one of these proteins in a rare genetic disease leads to hard, bone-like formations in arteries and blood vessels, resulting in death shortly after birth. Professor Braddock created a treatment for this disease by designing a new protein to replace the lost function. I spoke to Professor Braddock about his work—both a scientific and a Christian vocation of creation. The following interview has been edited for length and clarity.
