Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Viswanathan Rajagopalan's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiovascular diseases, particularly in the context of aging and altered thyroid hormone states. His work investigates the roles of noncoding RNAs and their interactions with coding genes in the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Rajagopalan also studies cardiac RNA transcriptomes in various heart disease models, including those involving atherosclerosis and Brugada syndrome, utilizing human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.

His recent publications explore the impact of thyroid dysfunction on cardiovascular health and aging heart failure. He is also involved in research examining the application of AI and generative AI in medical education. Rajagopalan leads a research group and has collaborated with several faculty members at Arkansas State University, including Sankalpa Chakraborty, Bryce Dickerson, Curren Bounds, and Gourav Chakraborty, on multiple publications.

Rajagopalan has received federal funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) as a Co-PI for the acquisition of a Nanoindenter for Materials Science and Biomaterials Research, totaling $586,231. He has an h-index of 15 and has authored 60 publications with 773 total citations.
