Teaching Interests

My professional aspiration is to promote the growth and development of trainees, so that they are successful in the academic and biomedical fields, or outside of those areas (industry, scientific writing etc.). My teaching strategy is based on the following principles: 1) encourage problem-solving thinking and application of the acquired knowledge; 2) emphasize and foster communication skills, they are vital to succeed in any modern career; 3) maintain realistic expectations about the educational and career goals; 4) stress the critical importance of professional ethics and rigor; 5) lead by example and avoid the “one size fits all” approach. I have been delivering didactic lectures to the graduate and master’s students within the curricula of the following courses: Scientific Communication (BIOM 8012), Integrated Systems Biology (BIOM 8033), Methodology in Cardiovascular Research (VBIO 8010), Medical Physiology I (PSIO 6110), Pathophysiology (PSIO 6710), Advanced Renal Physiology (PSIO 7210), Medical Renal Physiology (PSIO 8390). I have developed the curriculum and served as the main instructor for the Current Trends in Physiology: Mineralocorticoid and Progesterone Signaling – Evolution, Function, Interaction (PSIO 8350) and Advanced Study of Physiology: Animal Models of Kidney Disease (PSIO 8340) courses.
