Titles

• Associate Scientist-Hypertension and Vascular Research Division, Henry Ford Hospital
• Assistant Scientist/Assistant Professor (FTA) of Physiology – Wayne State University

Biographical Statement

Dr. Tengis Pavlov is a scientist in the Hypertension and Vascular Research Division at Henry Ford Health, where he studies the mechanisms underlying kidney disease and hypertension. His work combines physiology, cellular biology and translational research to better understand how changes in kidney function contribute to the development and progression of chronic disease.

Dr. Pavlov received his doctoral training at Lomonosov Moscow State University and has built a research career focused on renal physiology, ion channel regulation and cardiovascular health. As a member of Henry Ford Health's research faculty, he collaborates with multidisciplinary teams to investigate novel therapeutic approaches for kidney disease and blood pressure disorders while mentoring trainees and early-career scientists.

His research has advanced understanding of polycystic kidney disease, renal ion channel function and the role of sodium handling in hypertension. Through laboratory and translational studies, Dr. Pavlov seeks to identify new strategies to prevent disease progression and improve outcomes for patients with kidney and cardiovascular conditions.
