معرفی
Carlo Barnaba is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Kansas School of Pharmacy. His research focuses on advancing pharmaceutical discoveries using quantitative imaging and genomic approaches to study metabolic homeostasis and autophagy mechanisms. He employs genome editing, live-cell imaging, and computational biology to elucidate cellular processes under nutrient/chemical stress.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Chemistry, Washington State University (2016)
- M.S./B.S., Università degli Studi di Parma (2007)
- Postdoctoral Associate, University of Michigan (2018)
- Postdoctoral Associate, Michigan State University (2023)
Research Interests:
- Autophagy mechanisms in cancer metabolic reprogramming
- Cytochrome P450 metabolon dynamics and drug interactions
- Oxidized lipid/sterol exposure in foods and health impacts
Publications: Over 30 peer-reviewed articles since 2016, with recent focus on autophagy regulation, cholesterol crystal pathophysiology, and food lipid oxidation profiling. Current projects include CRISPR-based gene editing tools and developing the FooDOxS database for oxidized sterol tracking in foods.
Labs/Teams: Leads the Barnaba Lab focused on pharmaceutical chemistry innovations at the Multidisciplinary Research Building (MRB 320D).
