معرفی
Paola Corti is an Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, specializing in Biochemistry and Biomolecular Sciences. Her research uses zebrafish models to investigate cellular globins' roles in nitric oxide signaling, embryonic development, and cardiac regeneration, with implications for vascular diseases and organ laterality.
- Education: PhD in Insect Biotechnology (University of Basilicata, University of Durham, USDA); B.S. in Natural Sciences (University of Milan)
Research Interests: Focus on globin proteins' non-traditional roles in oxygen-independent signaling, nitric oxide homeostasis, and ciliary function during development. Combines in vivo zebrafish studies with in vitro biochemical characterization.
Publication Trends: Recent work explores cytoglobin's role in cilia motility and organ laterality, nitrite's regenerative effects in zebrafish, and evolutionary shifts in globin coordination chemistry.
Scientific Awards:
- RiMED fellowship
- AHA Career Development Award (18CDA34110344)
- RiMED Award grant
Grants: Current R01HL168775 (Multi-PI) investigates airway epithelial cytoglobin's role in nitric oxide regulation and ciliopathy disorders. Past grants focused on globin functions in heart regeneration and cardiac development.
