Nicholas Kluge graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2018 with a Bachelor of Arts in Physiology with a pre-med emphasis and with minors in Public Health and Sociology. He then earned his Masters in Medical Physiology at Case Western Reserve University, graduating in 2019. Mr. Kluge remained at Case Western Reserve to work a Research Assistant II in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics.
During his academic career, Mr. Kluge was an active participant in multiple research projects in cardiovascular physiology. His experience includes both public university research environments as well as private research institute environments. In his time at Case Western Reserve, department of Physiology and Biophysics, Mr. Kluge was instrumental in developing technologies and practical application of the capacitive immunoprobes demonstrated in this article. As part of this effort, Mr. Kluge split his time between in vitro technical development at Case Western Reserve and in vivo testing at the UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center. He also led efforts for application of the technology in diverse biological settings including rat urine and serum samples. His research accomplishments have been recognized by the American Physiological Society Select Distinction in Scholarship and as winner of the 2020 University Hospitals/CWRU Cardiovascular Research Institute poster session.
In the fall of 2022, Mr. Kluge matriculated at the Boonshoft School of Medicine at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. He intends to pursue a career in surgery or cardiac electrophysiology.
