معرفی
Dr. Chowdhury S. Abdullah is an Assistant Professor in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Health Outcomes at The University of Texas at Tyler's Fisch College of Pharmacy, joining in October 2024. He holds a Ph.D. from South Dakota State University and completed postdoctoral training at LSU Health Sciences Center. His research focuses on cardiometabolic diseases, mitochondrial dysfunction, and drug-induced cardiomyopathies. He has over 25 peer-reviewed publications and secured AHA fellowships and grants. Dr. Abdullah also serves as a peer reviewer for high-impact journals like Circulation and Circulation: Heart Failure.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, South Dakota State University (2016)
- Master of Pharmacy, University of Dhaka (2012)
- Bachelor of Pharmacy, University of Dhaka (2009)
Research Interests: His work explores molecular mechanisms to reduce end-organ damage in heart failure using in vitro and in vivo models. Key areas include Sigma1 receptor modulation, mitochondrial dynamics, and autophagy regulation in metabolic heart disease. He investigates cardiotoxic effects of drugs like methamphetamine and doxorubicin, with a focus on translational pre-clinical models.
Publications Trends: His articles emphasize drug-induced cardiac toxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and receptor signaling pathways. Recent work explores Sigma1 receptor knockout effects on multiple organ systems, highlighting translational potential for cardioprotective therapies.
Awards:
- 2023 Malcolm Feist Postdoctoral Transition Award
- 2022 D. Neil Granger Outstanding Postdoctoral Trainee Award
- 2021 APS Cardiovascular Section Award
Teaching & Mentorship: Teaches pathology and physiology courses to medical and allied health students, with strong instructional ratings. Actively mentors students in laboratory research and grant writing.
Labs/Teams: Leads a lab at UT Tyler developing molecular strategies to prevent metabolic heart failure, collaborating with cardiovascular research centers to advance pre-clinical therapeutic approaches.
