biography

Dr. Takeshi Tsuda is a Staff Pediatric Cardiologist at Nemours Cardiac Center, Nemours/duPont Hospital for Children, Wilmington, DE.
He also serves as an Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Thomas Jefferson University, Jefferson Medical College. Dr. Tsuda is a Physician Scientist who has been studying a role of extracellular matrix protein, fibulin-2, in developing myocardial remodeling and heart failure in the mouse model.
His recent findings suggest that fibulin-2 mediates tissue activation of TGF-ββ and its downstream signaling. Dr. Tsuda’s team also has established a bioassay system to measure TGF-ββ activity in the tissue.
His clinical interest includes congenital heart disease, valvar heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and exercise physiology.
