Anastasios Lymperopoulos, PhD, Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nova Southeastern University. My career started by earning M.Sc. in Medicinal Chemistry followed by Ph.D. in Pharmacology, after graduating from the School of Pharmacy of the University of Patras in my home country Greece. Its major turning point was in 2004, when I joined the lab of Dr. Walter Koch at Thomas Jefferson University, a former postdoctoral fellow of Nobel laureate Professor Robert Lefkowitz`s. After a successful 5-year-long postdoctoral tenure in Wally`s lab, I moved on to an independent faculty position at Nova Southeastern University in 2009. Since then, I have had several successes, awards and honors, including Fellow of the American Heart Association (FAHA) and Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology (FESC), as well as a 5-year Scientist Development Grant award from the American Heart Association (AHA). I have been an AHA post-doctoral research fellow for a total of three years in the past. I have also been a finalist for the AHA-sponsored Melvin L. Marcus Young Investigator Award in Basic Cardiovascular Sciences, and for the Cardiovascular Research Award of the Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). In addition, I hold one patent. I have published in various prestigious scientific journals, headlined by my lead author original research publication in the prestigious “Nature Medicine” in 2007 (for the full list of my >100 peer-reviewed publications, see UPubMedU) and my current h-index is 37 (~5,000 total citations, i10-index: 70) in Google Scholar (as of February 2024). Regarding my teaching service, my teaching always receives high remarks from students and fellow faculty alike, and, in fact, I was nominated for the 2020 NSU Barry and Judy Silverman College of Pharmacy`s Golden Apple Award for excellence in teaching! I currently serve as NSU Barry and Judy Silverman College of Pharmacy faculty at the Associate Professor level and mentor several PhD, PharmD, and DO students in cardiovascular research in my lab. I have supervised twenty postgraduate and undergraduate research students in the past, all of whom have completed their graduate (Pharm.D., D.O.) and bachelor’s degrees, respectively. I also serve as associate editor of six peer-reviewed and PubMed-indexed journals with decent impact factors (>3), including “Scientific Reports” published by Nature Publishing Group, “Pharmacology Research & Perspectives” of the British Pharmacological Society, and “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” published by MDPI. I have edited one textbook published by the esteemed “Springer Nature” company and authored chapters in several books published by the Elsevier publishing company. I also serve as a regular grant reviewer for the American Heart Association (Basic Cell GE2 peer review committee) and for the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) (New Investigator Award-NIA grant reviewer). Additionally, I serve as regular peer-reviewer for several prestigious scientific journals. My research interests center around G protein-coupled receptors and their roles in cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology. I am a very good lecturer, my lectures are always received by the students very well, and I also have a more than 15-year experience as an independent principal investigator-research lab leader. I enjoy playing basketball, watching movies, and listening to music and audiobooks.
