2006-2009 Post-Doctoral Fellow, Dr. Tille was a post-doctoral fellow under the guidance of Martin Gerdes, Ph.D.. Dr. Gerdes and team defined how these cardiac myocytes remodel in physiological and pathological conditions. He demonstrated that the dilated, thin-walled ventricle characteristic of systolic heart failure was due to a maladaptive change in myocyte shape (increased length with no change in diameter) rather than slippage of myocytes past each other. Dr. Gerdes currently serves as a Professor and the Dept. Chair at the New York Institute of Technology, Long Island New York, Sanford and University Medical Center Cardiovascular Research Institute-, , Sioux Falls South Dakota
