Dr. Duke Edward Cameron is the James Dresher, Sr. Professor of Cardiac Surgery and chief of the Johns Hopkins Medicine Division of Cardiac Surgery. Dr. Cameron is also the Director of The Dana and Albert "Cubby" Broccoli Center for Aortic Surgery Center. His clinical interests are pediatric cardiac surgery, valve repair, adult congenital heart disease and aortic surgery, particularly for Marfan syndrome.

A graduate of Harvard College and Yale Medical School, Dr. Cameron completed his general surgery training at Yale-New Haven Hospital and the Middlesex Hospital in London. He entered a cardiothoracic surgical fellowship at Johns Hopkins and joined the faculty of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 1987. In 1993, he held a joint appointment at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia as a locum consultant surgeon.

Dr. Cameron's early investigative work focused on inflammatory mediators in cardio-pulmonary bypass, but more recently has shifted to clinical research in adult and pediatric cardiac surgery. His experience and personal series of valve-sparing aortic root replacements have made him a renowned speaker throughout the world on the subject of aortic surgery.
