Who is George Chaldakov?
George Nikov Chaldakov born February 23, 1940, in Burgas, Bulgaria, is a Bulgarian vascular biologist well known for his contributions in the study of secretory function of vascular smooth muscle cells, and the role of neurotrophins and perivascular adipose tissue in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. He published the first Bulgarian textbook of Cell Biology in 1996 and in 2005 founded the Bulgarian Society for Cell Biology.
In 1966 graduated as MD from Varna Institute of Medicine, Varna, Bulgaria. In 1983 obtained PhD degree in Vascular Biology, "Ultrastructural and cytopharmacological study of aging in vascular smooth muscle cells, with special reference to their secretory function". Since 2007, Chaldakov is Professor Emeritus at Medical University of Varna, Bulgaria.
In the past 30 years Chaldakov was involved in an interdisciplinary research in the fields of vascular biology, adipobiology and neurobiology and is one of the pioneers establishing the novel concept of the secretory function/phenotype of the vascular smooth muscle cells and further delineating their role in atherogenesis.
