Charles Michael Gibson is an American interventional cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, cardiovascular researcher, and professor at Harvard Medical School.[1] He is best known for inventing the TIMI frame count and the TIMI myocardial perfusion grade, measures of coronary blood flow.

Early life and education[edit]

Gibson was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He attended the University of Chicago and the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine where he earned his Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Medicine (MD) degrees in Biology and Medicine.[2] In 1989, Gibson completed his internship and residency in Internal Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital at Harvard Medical School.[2] From 1989 to 1993, he was a fellow at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center at Harvard Medical School.[2]

He served as Cath Lab Director and Associate Chief of Cardiology at University of California, San Francisco before coming back to Boston where he served as Associate Chief of Cardiology of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.[3]

Gibson is the inventor of the TIMI frame count and the TIMI myocardial perfusion grade, measures of coronary blood flow. He also led the first large trial (the PIONEER trial) to show that dual therapy with an antiplatelet and an anticoagulant is superior to triple therapy with two antiplatelet agents in patients with atrial fibrillation who require a stent. He was appointed CEO of the BAIM Institute for Clinical Research, a non-profit academic research organization (ARO) known formerly as Harvard Clinical Research Institute (HCRI).[3] Gibson founded and is Editor-in-Chief of WikiDoc, an online open source encyclopedia of medicine.[4] He was medical lead while partnering with Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo! to design Schema.org, a system of content classification to improve medical search results.[5]

Gibson founded and leads PERFUSE, an academic research organization.[3] He has been principal investigator and/or led core services for 106 clinical trials. Under Gibson, PERFUSE built a master database consisting of TIMI studies spanning 25 years and involving 100,000 patients.[6] He has led phase 1-4 clinical trials and cardiology megatrials exceeding 30,000 patients.[6] Gibson is an at-large member of the US Food and Drug Administration’s cardiorenal panel having served as a standing member from 2017 to 2021.
