Nathan W Johnson, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at Midwestern University holding concurrent appointments across three colleges: Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, and College of Graduate Studies - Arizona. His primary affiliation is within the Biomedical Sciences department. He holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from Arizona State University (2013), an M.S. from the same institution (2011), and a B.A. from Rice University (2000).
Dr. Johnson's research focuses on cardiovascular pathophysiology, genetic manipulation in animal models, and neurocognitive effects of music. His work includes studies on aortic aneurysms using transgenic mice, genome assembly of plant species, and the impact of emotional music on attention in older adults. He employs advanced techniques like nanopore sequencing and genetic knockout models.
His publications consistently explore mechanisms underlying cardiovascular diseases, particularly Marfan syndrome-related aortic pathologies, and investigate therapeutic interventions such as nitric oxide inhibitors and exercise therapies. Recent efforts also bridge biomedical sciences with interdisciplinary topics like plant genomics and music neuroscience.
In teaching, he instructs courses like Advanced Topics in Biomedical Sciences (BMMAG 891), Philosophical Foundations of Research (BMMSG 618), and multiple iterations of Introduction to Medical Ethics across graduate programs.
