معرفی
Calvin Carter, PhD is an Assistant Professor at the University of Iowa with cross-departmental appointments in Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Pediatrics, Biomedical Engineering, and Radiation Oncology. His laboratory investigates the biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), focusing on their potential to remotely control cellular physiology for therapeutic applications in diabetes and human health.
- Education: BS in Biology (Holstra University), PhD in Neuroscience (University of Iowa), HHMI Postdoctoral Fellow (Carver College of Medicine), American Diabetes Association Postdoctoral Fellow.
- Research Affiliations: Biomedical Engineering, Free Radical and Radiation Biology, Molecular Medicine, Pharmacology, Iowa Neuroscience Institute, Fraternal Order of Eagles Diabetes Research Center, Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Dr. Carter’s research integrates biomedical engineering, electrochemistry, and neuroscience to explore how EMFs interact with biological systems. His team developed a noninvasive technology to modulate mitochondrial function, demonstrating efficacy in type 2 diabetes treatment and advancing clinical trials.
Recent publications highlight his work on EMF mechanisms in diabetes, neurogenetic mouse models, and virtual mentoring strategies. Collaborative efforts span cellular redox systems, fear memory disorders, and global kidney care.
- Scientific Awards: HHMI Postdoctoral Fellowship, American Diabetes Association Postdoctoral Fellowship.
