معرفی
Stacey L. Raimondi, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Elmhurst University. She holds a Ph.D. in Anatomy and Cell Biology from the University of Iowa and leads research on molecular mechanisms of cancer metastasis. Her work integrates wet-lab techniques and bioinformatics to study epigenetic dysregulation (e.g., DNMT3B isoforms) in tumor progression across cancer types.
Research Focus: Dr. Raimondi investigates changes in gene/protein expression in cancer cells, aiming to develop novel therapeutics. Key areas include:
- Role of aberrant DNA methyltransferase DNMT3B7 in breast cancer and neuroblastoma
- Lysyl oxidase functions in cancer cell migration under hypoxia
- Application of bioinformatics in pan-cancer analyses
Publication Trends: Her 14 most recent articles (2005–2017) reveal dual expertise:
- Cancer biology (12 publications): Focus on epigenetic regulators (DNMT3B, lysyl oxidases), metastasis mechanisms, and tumor microenvironment dynamics.
- Science education (2 publications): Development and assessment of active-learning strategies for undergraduate curricula.
Student Advising: Dr. Raimondi mentors undergraduate researchers, evidenced by 15+ student co-authors on publications exploring breast cancer biomarkers, cell signaling, and natural compounds.
