E-mail: carlos.feleder@acphs.edu

Education:

• M.D. ‑ School of Medicine, University of Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina
  
  PhD. - The Frauenklinik fur Experimentelle Endokrinologie, University George-August, Gottingen, Germany; and Department of Physiology, School of Medicine, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina

Courses Taught at ACPHS:

• Pathophysiology
  
  Pharmacology/Medicinal Chemistry III and IV

Research Interests:

• Dr. Feleder has a long-standing interest in uncovering the mechanisms underlying the body's response to immune challenges, i.e., how the central nervous system controls the physiologic functions that protect the body from the harmful effects of infectious agents. In 2008, Dr. Feleder was awarded a three year research grant totaling $231,000 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study the effects of the spleen in managing fever.
