Bio
Dr. Titze serves as Associate Professor at the Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disease Programme of Duke-NUS Medical School. He also holds appointments as a Professor for Electrolyte and Circulation Research at the Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany, and at the Division of Nephrology at Duke University, USA. He is an elected member of the American Society of Clinical Investigation and the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.
His research focuses on how the body organizes osmolyte metabolism to maintain body fluid homeostasis. His interdisciplinary clinician-scientist team conducts basic and clinical studies to understand how kidney, skin, liver and skeletal muscle coordinate their organ functions to achieve constant body fluid homeostasis.
Questioning traditional physiological concepts, we have begun to rethink therapeutic strategies against diabetes and hypertension. We also provide with new mechanistic insights into how the immune system protects against infection and tumors, and offer alternative views on the pathogenesis of autoimmune disease.
