Angela Szeto, Ph.D., is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Miami's College of Arts and Sciences. Her work bridges neuroendocrinology, cardiovascular physiology, and metabolic regulation with a focus on oxytocin's roles in health and disease. Key affiliations include the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine collaborations and interdisciplinary research programs.
Research interests center on oxytocin's effects in metabolic pathways (e.g., pancreatic β-cell function, adipose tissue inflammation), cardiovascular consequences of spinal cord injury, and neuroendocrine mechanisms in HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders. She employs animal models, clinical data analysis, and molecular biology techniques to investigate these topics.
Publications highlight her contributions to understanding cardiometabolic complications post-SCI, β-cell health modulation via OXTR signaling, and oxytocin's role in stress-related social behaviors. Her work is supported by NIH grants (e.g., R01 NS131493) and Florida Department of Health funding.
Notable expertise spans oxytocin measurement standardization, stem cell immunomodulation strategies, and translational research linking psychosocial factors to biological outcomes in chronic disease contexts.
