Please note Dr. Kuebler will not be accepting summer students.
Dr. Wolfgang Kuebler is an Associate Scientist at the Keenan Research Centre for Biomedical Science of St. Michael’s Hospital. He is a Professor at the University of Toronto in both the Department of Surgery and the Department of Physiology and a Professor of Physiology at the Charité-Universitaetsmedizin Berlin with an endowed professorship by the German Heart Institute Berlin. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ryerson University, and an Adjunct Professor in the College of Graduate Studies and Research at the University of Saskatchewan.
His research interest focuses on translational research in pulmonary and microvascular physiology and pathophysiology, he has published > 120 peer-reviewed articles largely on topics that integrate basic research on intracellular signalling and intercellular communication pathways to the level of the intact organ and organism in complex disease models such as acute lung injury, lung edema, or pulmonary hypertension. A special methodological focus of his work is the use of intravital microscopy and real-time fluorescence imaging techniques in intact organs or life animal models, which he combines with both cell and molecular biology techniques as well as physiological measurements.
He currently serves as Chair of the Section Advisory Committee and as Past-Chair of the Respiration Section for the American Physiological Society. In addition, he is the Chair of the Scientific Advisory Panel for the Ludwig-Boltzmann-Institute for Lung Vascular Research in Graz, Austria, and as Associate Editor for the American Journal of Physiology – Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology and for Experimental Lung Research. He has served on numerous review panels for Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Heart & Stroke Foundation, and as ad-hoc reviewer for funding agencies in Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Israel, Italy, Poland, and Hungary.
