معرفی
Dr. Svitlana Kurinna is a Research Fellow in the Division of Cell Matrix Biology & Regenerative Medicine at the University of Manchester. Her work focuses on understanding microRNA (miRNA) mechanisms in wound repair and regenerative medicine. She leads projects investigating miR-29’s role in epidermal and skin regeneration, combining molecular biology with computational approaches.
- Education: PhD in Molecular Biology from University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (2010), MSc in Biology from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (2001)
- Research Beacons: Manchester Regenerative Medicine Network, Digital Futures
Research Interests: Dr. Kurinna’s studies explore miRNA regulation in skin repair, with emphasis on miR-29’s impact on keratinocytes and collagen production. Her team uses advanced techniques like miR-CLIP to identify novel RNA targets and employs in vivo/in vitro models to assess therapeutic potentials. Recent work integrates AI for automated wound analysis, enhancing histology interpretation.
Publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches, combining molecular mechanisms with clinical implications. Key contributions include identifying laminin C2’s role in skin repair and elucidating Nrf2 pathways in cardiovascular health. Her work aligns with UN SDGs for health and innovation.
Labs/Teams: Collaborates within the Manchester Regenerative Medicine Network, advancing therapies for cutaneous sclerosis and impaired wound healing.
