ACADEMIC TITLE(S)

  • Professor of Physiology and Pharmacology

BIO

Dr. Charles Thodeti is a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at the University of Toledo. He obtained Ph.D. in Zoology from S.V. University, India. He did post-doctoral training at Lund University, Sweden and later held a research faculty position at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He then moved to Harvard Medical School/Boston Children’s Hospital as an Instructor/Staff Scientist. Before joining University of Toledo, Dr. Thodeti was a tenured Associate professor at Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED). His laboratory (laboratory of Cardiovascular Mechanobiology and Therapeutics) works on mechanotransduction mechanisms in cardiac remodeling and pathological angiogenesis. His work has been supported by NIH-NHLBI (RO1s and R15), NIH-NCI-(R15) and AHA (Scientist Development Award, Grant-in-Aid and Transformative Project Award). He has published more than 60 peer-reviewed articles in the fields of cardiovascular physiology and cell biology. He serve(d)s as an editorial board member for Circulation Research, Scientific Reports, Microcirculation and Cells (MDPI), and as a reviewer for more than 30 top-tier journals. Dr. Thodeti is a study section member for AHA and NIH.
