“Bodduluri has demonstrated exceptional leadership in his interim role, and I am thrilled that he has accepted this permanent appointment,” said Jeffrey Bumpous, dean of the School of Medicine.
Before joining UofL, Bodduluri was a faculty member at Duke University, where his research focused on the role of chemokines in leukocyte migration. His work at UofL has included roles as a professor of microbiology and immunology, co-director of the center for microbiomics, inflammation, and pathogenesis, and researcher at the UofL Health – Brown Cancer Center. He also holds the James Graham Brown Foundation Chair in Cancer Immunobiology.
“The School of Medicine offers unparalleled opportunities for growth, and I am honored to lead the department of Microbiology and Immunology as we continue to push the boundaries in research and education,” Bodduluri said.
His academic journey began in India, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in chemistry and biology and a Master of Science in biochemistry from Andhra University. He later completed a Ph.D. in biochemistry at the Indian Institute of Science and pursued postdoctoral studies at Johns Hopkins University.
