معرفی
Anja Nohe is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Delaware's College of Arts & Sciences. Her roles include leading research initiatives focused on musculoskeletal disorders, stem cell biology, and advanced imaging techniques. She holds a Diplom from the University of Würzburg (Germany), a Ph.D. from the Theodor Boveri Institute (University of Würzburg), and completed postdoctoral training at the University of Western Ontario (Canada).
Her research emphasizes developing novel delivery systems for proteins/nanoparticles, advanced imaging tools like FICS (Family of Image Correlation Spectroscopy), and studying stem cell differentiation mechanisms. Current projects target osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, including the development of therapeutic peptides (e.g., CK2.3) to enhance bone formation and inhibit osteoclastogenesis. Her lab uses mouse models, human cell cultures, and bioreactors to investigate molecular dynamics in bone and cartilage.
Key research areas include:
- BMP receptor signaling and its role in bone homeostasis
- Peptide-mediated osteogenesis and cartilage repair
- Age-related bone density decline and its signaling pathways
Her team collaborates on grants focused on translational therapies for musculoskeletal diseases. Lab facilities include advanced microscopy and cell culture setups at the DBI building.
