Dr. Trammell grew up in North Carolina and attended medical school at UNC-Chapel Hill. He completed internship and residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. During his training at Vanderbilt, Dr. Trammell developed an interest in pulmonary hypertension. He the interactions of metabolism and pulmonary hypertension in transgenic mice and cell-based models (Dr. Anna Hemnes, mentor). Dr. Trammell received further clinical training in pulmonary hypertension working with Dr. Adaani Frost in Houston, Texas. He joined the faculty at Emory in 2015.
Dr. Trammell’s current interests include both providing exceptional care to patients with pulmonary hypertension and also, through translational and clinical research, improving understanding of the mechanisms of pulmonary vascular disease development in patients with PAH and those with left heart disease and lung disease. His prior research focused on the way in which metabolic syndrome affects pulmonary hypertension development in animals. Going forward, he plans to bring techniques learned in this prior work to clinical/translational studies. With this in mind, he received additional formal training in clinical research through Emory's Laney Graduate School, obtaining a Master degree. He currently has research projects evaluating factors that affect outcome of PH in patients with left heart disease or lung disease. Dr. Trammell sees patients at Emory Clinic and Emory University Hospital’s MICU and Advanced Lung Disease services.
