Asya Makhro is a Postdoctoral Research Assistant specializing in Clinical Evolutionary Medicine and Evolutionary Pathophysiology. Her work focuses on red blood cell physiology, NMDA receptors, and their roles in diseases like sickle cell anemia. She contributes to interdisciplinary groups exploring mummy studies and clinical applications of evolutionary medicine.
Research interests include red blood cell heterogeneity, calcium signaling, and the development of diagnostic tools (e.g., AI-driven analysis of blood morphology). Her studies span clinical trials (e.g., memantine therapy for sickle cell disease), biophysical methods (microfluidics, percoll gradients), and molecular mechanisms of hemolytic disorders.
Key contributions include uncovering NMDA receptor functions in erythrocytes and cardiac cells, analyzing spleen protection in sickle cell patients, and investigating altitude-related erythrocyte responses. Her work bridges basic science and clinical applications, emphasizing translational research.
