Nadia Rosenthal

Nadia Rosenthal is Professor and Scientific Director at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, with a concurrent Chair in Cardiovascular Science at Imperial College London. She is affiliated with the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering at the University of Maine, contributing to interdisciplinary research and training in biomedical sciences.

Her research centers on regenerative medicine, focusing on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of tissue repair in cardiovascular and skeletal muscle systems. Using genetically diverse mouse models, her work explores the roles of growth factors, stem cells, and the immune system in development and disease recovery. She is the author of the authoritative text Heart Development and Regeneration, widely recognized in the field.

The trends in her research—though specific publications are not listed—span developmental biology, disease modeling, and translational regenerative therapies. Her work bridges basic science with clinical applications, leveraging complex genetic systems to understand mammalian repair processes.

Her scientific honors include:

• EMBO Membership
• Fellowship in the UK Academy of Medical Sciences
• Fellowship in the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Science
• NH&MRC Australia Fellow
• Maxine Groffsky Endowed Chair
• Multiple honorary doctorates

She has played pivotal leadership roles in founding major research institutions, including the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute and EMBL Australia. She serves as Founding Editor of Disease Models and Mechanisms, Deputy Editor of Differentiation, and Founding Editor-in-Chief of NPJ Regenerative Medicine, shaping discourse in biomedical research. Though no specific grants or students are listed, her directorial roles imply extensive grant leadership and mentorship. She leads a major research laboratory at The Jackson Laboratory, fostering collaborative, interdisciplinary science in regenerative medicine.
