Scott A. Waldman is an MD and biomedical scientist at Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, where he is the Samuel M.V.
[4][5][8] Waldman has lent academic service by his participation in committees of institutions such as NIH and FDA, in areas like clinical pharmacology training, translational research, and extramural activities.
[9][10][11] His early career was devoted to characterize the receptor-mediated responses to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in vascular smooth muscle and other cell types, especially its stimulation of guanylyl cyclase to cause the intracellular accumulation of cGMP in the context of vasodilatory phenomena.
[19] Recently, Waldman has extensively explored concepts surrounding the role of membrane-bound GUCY2C receptors lining the gastrointestinal tract in relation to the homeostatic regulation of the crypt-surface axis by paracrine hormones uroguanylin and guanylin.
[27] His most cited reviews are: Together with Andre Terzic, in 2009 Waldman was co-editor of the multi-author textbook Pharmacology and Therapeutics: Principles to Practice, ISBN 978-1-4160-3291-5, (Saunders-Elsevier)
