معرفی
Pavlina Baevova is a Researcher in the Department of Immunobiology at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. Her work focuses on interdisciplinary bioengineering and regenerative medicine, combining expertise in tissue engineering, pulmonary biology, and malaria research. She has contributed to groundbreaking studies on lung organoid development, ventilator innovation for disaster relief, and malaria parasite biology. Her lab utilizes advanced techniques such as iPSC-derived cell models, decellularized organ scaffolds, and in vitro bioreactor systems. Key collaborations include projects with clinicians and engineers to translate bench-to-bedside solutions in respiratory medicine.
Research Interests: Her primary areas include engineering functional lung tissues, developing scalable medical devices for critical care, and understanding molecular mechanisms in malaria pathogenesis. Recent work emphasizes rational design of alveolar epithelium, barrier function optimization in bioengineered organs, and novel approaches to study Plasmodium falciparum hemoglobin metabolism.
Publications: Over 12 peer-reviewed articles since 2004, with notable contributions to Npj Regenerative Medicine, Biomaterials, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Her 2023 study on lung alveolar engineering demonstrates pioneering work in organoid systems for respiratory research.
Labs/Teams: Active member of Yale's Regenerative Medicine and Immunobiology research groups, with laboratory facilities at the Anlyan Center. Collaborates across departments including Biomedical Engineering and Anesthesiology.
