Biography

CAPT Linderman received his Bachelor of Science degree in Premedicine from Penn State University and his Doctor of Philosophy degree in Physiology from the West Virginia University School of Medicine. His doctoral thesis focused on maturational changes within the structure, and neurological and endogenous hormone regulation of skeletal muscle microvasculature. He then completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Medical College of Wisconsin, studying brain tumor angiogenesis, growth factor control of blood vessel development, and vasoactive hormone receptor localization in the microvasculature.

In November 1999, CAPT Linderman was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the United States Navy and in 2000 was designated as a Naval Aerospace and Operational Physiologist. Throughout his 22 year Naval career, he has fulfilled Navy, Marine Corps, Joint, and Combined Command staff roles supporting Commander Strike Fighter Wing Pacific, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, Special Operations Command Korea and United States Forces Korea multinational force operations.

Prior to joining the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine, CAPT Linderman served as an aeromedical advisor to the Physiological Episodes Action Team and he was instrumental in pursuing aviation life support systems research, developing a High-Performance, High-Altitude Physiology training curriculum for fleet aircrew, and providing significant substantive revisions to the Aeromedical and Survival sections of the Commander, Naval Air Forces general flight and operating instructions for US Navy and Marine Corps aircraft.
