== Biography ==
Balser graduated from Tulane University in 1984, where he majored in engineering, prior to attending Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. He joined the faculty at Johns Hopkins in 1995, initiating a basic research program aimed at the molecular pharmacology of cardiac arrhythmias. His clinical work has primarily involved the care of postoperative cardiac surgery patients in ICU settings. Balser moved to Vanderbilt in 1998, and served as Associate Dean for Physician Scientists. He established an intramural mentoring program for junior faculty physician scientists that has been a national model for centralized management of physician scientist career development, and is supported by the NIH. His research program has been aimed at the pharmacogenomics of cardiac arrhythmias. His studies in ''Nature'', ''PNAS'', and ''Nature Structural and Molecular Biology'' have established new paradigms for cardiac excitation-contraction coupling, and are yielding new targets for arrhythmia control.
In 2001, Balser was appointed the James Tayloe Gwathmey Professor and Chair of Anesthesiology, and was elected to the American Society for Clinical Investigation. Under his leadership, Vanderbilt anesthesiology scientific programs diversified to include NIH-funded programs in health services research and perioperative genomics, and the department advanced into the top 10 in NIH funding.
In 2001, Balser was appointed chair of the department of anesthesiology.
