Akiko Mammoto

Dr. Akiko Mammoto is an Associate Professor in Neonatology at Medical College of Wisconsin's Department of Pediatrics. Her research investigates molecular mechanisms of vascular development and remodeling in the lung, with particular focus on endothelial cell behavior during development and regeneration.

Research examines:

• Endothelial senescence in hypoxic conditions
• Mechanical tension in vascular morphogenesis
• Hydrostatic pressure regulation through YAP1 signaling
• Adiponectin-VEGF pathways in angiogenesis

Publications demonstrate consistent focus on pulmonary vascular biology using molecular and cellular approaches to understand developmental and regenerative processes in lung tissue.
