He completed his residency training at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1975-1978 and his fellowship training in endocrinology and metabolism at the University of Pittsburgh from 1978-1980. Dr. Verbalis was a faculty member at the University of Pittsburgh from 1980 through 1995 where he rose to the position of tenured Professor of Medicine, and then relocated to Georgetown University in Washington, DC where he served as the Chief of the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism from 1995-2004, and then as the Interim Chair of the Department of Medicine from 2004-2007. Dr. Verbalis is currently a Professor of Medicine and Physiology, Chief of the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Program Director of the General Clinical Research Center, and Clinical Director of the Center for the Study of Sex Differences in Health, Aging and Disease at Georgetown University. Dr. Verbalis has published more than 250 journal articles and book chapters related to the neuroendocrine regulation of the hormones vasopressin and oxytocin, and disorders of body fluid homeostasis. He authors the chapters on vasopressin and water metabolism in major textbooks of endocrinology (Williams Textbook of Endocrinology; Principles and Practice of Endocrinology and Metabolism), nephrology (Brenner & Rector�s The Kidney; Diseases of the Kidney and Urinary Tract), and neuroscience (Fundamental Neuroscience). He is a regularly an invited speaker at national and international meetings on neuroendocrinology and body fluid homeostasis. Invited lectureships have included the Donald Fraley Memorial Lectureship at the University of Pittsburgh, the Presidential Lecture of the American College of Sports Medicine, the John Walker Moore Memorial Lectureship at the University of Louisville, the Lefeber Aging Lectureship at The University of Texas Medical Branch, the Robert W. Schrier lectureship at the American Society of Nephrology, and the Berthold Medal lectureship of the German Endocrine Society. Dr. Verbalis� research has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health for the last 20 years and recently has concentrated on mechanisms underlying adaptation to hyponatremia, renal escape from vasopressin, osmotic regulation of hypothalamic gene expression, sex differences in physiology and pathophysiology, exercise-associated hyponatremia and clinical use of vasopressin receptor antagonists. Dr. Verbalis is currently an editorial board member for Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology and the Postgraduate Medicine. He is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and a member of numerous scientific organizations, including the American Society for Clinical Investigation, American College of Physicians, American Physiological Society, Endocrine Society, American Society of Nephrology, Society for Neuroscience, and the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences.
