C.J. Urso, Ph.D., is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Seton Hall University. His teaching focuses on medically oriented coursework, including undergraduate Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology, and a graduate course in Recombinant DNA Technology. He advises M.S. and Ph.D. students in biological sciences.
Education:
- Ph.D., Seton Hall University
- M.S., Montclair State University
- B.A., Rutgers University
Research interests center on protein palmitoylation as a spatiotemporal regulator of cellular function, particularly its role in metabolic diseases. His work investigates lipotoxicity mechanisms in neuroblastoma and microglial cells, emphasizing the differential effects of saturated vs. unsaturated fatty acids. Recent studies highlight palmitic acid's impact on cell cycle progression and cytokinesis.
Publications explore fatty acid interactions with cellular processes, inflammation, and metabolic disorders. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided texts.
Dr. Urso trains graduate students but no specific grants or laboratories are detailed in the profile.
