Nadia Marano

Nadia Marano is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at St. Lawrence University, where she teaches general chemistry, biochemistry, advanced biochemistry, and research methods in biochemistry.

Education:

• Post-Doctoral Training, Molecular Biology, Cornell University
• Ph.D., Biochemistry, Princeton University
• M.A., Biochemistry, Princeton University
• B.S., Biochemistry, Manhattan College

Her research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of protein misfolding and aggregation, with particular interest in protein-lipid interactions and their role in cellular signaling. She investigates how lipid rafts modulate these processes, contributing to understanding neurodegenerative disease pathways. Her work bridges biochemistry and cell biology, emphasizing structural and functional dynamics at membrane interfaces.

Although no publications are listed in the provided text, her research trajectory suggests strong engagement in biophysical and biochemical studies related to amyloid-forming proteins and membrane biology, especially highlighted during her sabbatical at the University of Genoa in 2006–2007.

Scientific Awards:

Nadia Marano mentors students through research methods courses and likely supervises undergraduate research, though no specific advisees are listed. There is no mention of external grants, but her sabbatical research indicates scholarly activity and possible past funding. She integrates research with teaching, fostering hands-on scientific inquiry.

She has been involved in research collaborations, including as a visiting researcher at the University of Genoa, suggesting active participation in an international research network focused on protein-lipid systems.
