A native of Des Moines, Iowa, Dr. John Giudicessi, M.D., Ph.D., completed his undergraduate studies at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin. After receiving his doctoral degrees from the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine and Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in 2014, he went on to complete a residency in Internal Medicine, post-doctoral research fellowship in cardiovascular genetics under the mentorship of Dr. Michael J. Ackerman, M.D., Ph.D., and a clinical fellowship in Cardiovascular Diseases as part of the Mayo Clinic Clinician-Investigation Training Program. The recipient of the 2021 Mayo Clinic Alumni Association Donald C. Balfour Award for Meritorious Research, Dr. Giudicessi's translational research efforts aim to utilize multiomics- and artificial intelligence-aided approaches to improve the diagnosis, risk-stratification and clinical management of patients with sudden cardiac death-predisposing inherited cardiac channelopathies and cardiomyopathies. Clinically, Dr. Giudicessi has an active outpatient practice and sees patients in Mayo Clinic's Cardiac Sarcoidosis, Cardiomyopathy, and Genetic Heart Rhythm Clinics.
