Philip T. Palade

Philip T. Palade is a Professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), affiliated with the College of Medicine and the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology. His research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases.

• Education: Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania (1976)

Dr. Palade’s laboratory investigates gene expression changes in rat models of hypertension, aiming to identify genes that contribute to high blood pressure and those regulated by it. His work seeks to uncover novel therapeutic targets and create a database for hypertension research.

His recent publications highlight expertise in cardiovascular disease, molecular genetics, and computational modeling, with a focus on microRNA regulation, calcium signaling, and fibrosis mechanisms. Current and past NIH grant support underscores his research impact.

Dr. Palade leads a dedicated research team at UAMS, bridging experimental and computational approaches to understand hypertension’s molecular basis.
