Diana M Mitchell is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the College of Science, University of Idaho. She is affiliated with several interdisciplinary initiatives, including the Initiative for Bioinformatics and Evolutionary Studies, Institute for Interdisciplinary Data Sciences, and Institute for Modeling Collaboration and Innovation. Her research focuses on the intersection of innate immunology, molecular biology, and regenerative neuroscience.
- Education: BS from University of California San Diego (2004), PhD from University of Utah (2012)
Mitchell's work investigates retinal regeneration mechanisms in zebrafish, emphasizing microglial and Müller glia interactions. Key themes include:
- Phagocytic dynamics during retinal development and repair
- Role of inflammatory signaling in regenerative responses
- Compensatory mechanisms in microglial deficiency
- Neuronal survival and circuitry remodeling
Her recent publications reveal trends in retinal regeneration, microglial signaling, and developmental biology, utilizing advanced imaging and molecular techniques. She leads the Mitchell Lab, which explores these questions through interdisciplinary approaches combining bioinformatics, molecular biology, and live imaging.
