Carolina Eliscovich

Carolina Eliscovich, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine (Hepatology) and the Department of Developmental & Molecular Biology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Her research focuses on spatial organization of mRNAs in the liver, using advanced microscopy techniques like single-molecule Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (smFISH) to study gene expression dynamics in intact tissues. She investigates liver zonation, regeneration after injury, and metabolic adaptations during feeding-fasting cycles, with implications for diabetes and other metabolic diseases.

Key research areas include understanding how hepatocytes’ microenvironment influences gene expression, mechanisms of liver regeneration, and translational control in cancer and development. The Eliscovich Lab is affiliated with the Marion Bessin Liver Center, ES-Diabetes Research Center, Gruss Lipper Biophotonics Center, and the Program in RNA Biology at Einstein.

Her work bridges cell biology, molecular mechanisms, and in vivo imaging, contributing to insights into tissue-specific gene regulation and disease pathways.
