About
He’s also a professor of cardiology and the Weatherhead Distinguished Chair of Heart Disease at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston.
Johnson grew up in Houston, Texas, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Edmonton in Alberta, Canada (his father was in the oil industry). During high school, he became an Eagle Scout, played violin in the All-State Orchestra, and then spent an exchange year in Witzenhausen, Germany. He completed his undergraduate degree in physics and computing at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and medical school at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in Manhattan in 2004. He completed his internal medicine residency in 2006, his cardiology fellowship in 2010, and his interventional cardiology fellowship in 2010, all of which were at Northwestern McGaw Medical Center.

His research with his McGovern Medical School mentor, K. Lance Gould, MD, started in 1999. This research focuses on clinical coronary physiology, from noninvasive perfusion imaging to intracoronary hemodynamics. He served as the principal investigator for international trials in coronary physiology like CONTRAST (NCT02184117) and DEFINE-FLOW (NCT02328820). His current projects include quantitative FFR pullbacks (PPG registry, NCT04789317) and novel aortic valve physiology (SAVI-AoS, NCT04514250).
He has lectured in 19 countries across four continents and contributed to over 140 publications.
