About
Dan Rudic is a Professor at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, with a joint appointment in The Graduate School. He is affiliated with the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, where he contributes to both research and graduate education.
His research spans vascular biology, aging, neurodegeneration, and circadian regulation of cardiovascular function. Key areas include endothelial mechanosensing, axonal transport, ADAM17 signaling, and chronotherapy for hypertension. His work often employs transgenic mouse models and advanced imaging techniques such as manganese-enhanced MRI.
The recent publications reflect a strong focus on molecular mechanisms underlying age-related vascular and neurological impairments, with therapeutic implications for Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension, and kidney disease. His studies integrate pharmacological, imaging, and molecular approaches to understand disease progression and intervention.
He has taught key courses such as BIOM 8230: Biology of Proteins in Disease, PHRM 5012: Clinical Pharmacology Tutorial, and PHRM 8043: Pharmacology & Therapeutics II, indicating deep involvement in graduate pharmacology education.
While no specific awards or students are listed in the provided text, his active publication record and teaching responsibilities suggest ongoing scholarly engagement and mentorship within the graduate programs at Augusta University.
Dr. Rudic's laboratory likely focuses on vascular and neurological aging, with potential collaborations in imaging, nephrology, and circadian medicine, though specific lab details are not mentioned.
