Dr. Shobhan Gaddameedhi, MSc, PhD
Dr. Shobhan Gaddameedhi is a tenured Associate Professor of the Environmental Health Sciences at the Department of Biological Sciences at the North Carolina State University (NCSU). Dr. Gaddameedhi received his M.Sc. in Plant Sciences from the University of Hyderabad, India and his PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the North Dakota State University (2003-08). He pursued his post-doctoral training in the circadian biology and DNA repair fields with Prof. Aziz Sancar from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill (2008-14). Before joining NCSU as part of the Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program in July 2020, he started his academic career at Washington State University (WSU) where he rose from Assistant Professor to Associate Professor with tenure. Dr. Gaddameedhi’s main scientific interests are determining the mechanisms by which the circadian clock regulates environmental health outcomes through ‘gene-environment’ interactions and identifying the mechanisms by which circadian disruption influences genomic instability, skin & cardiovascular toxicity, and environmental carcinogenesis outcomes. He hopes to translate these findings into therapeutic treatments for environmental health disorders in humans.
