معرفی
Dr. Tami A. Martino is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph. She holds the Distinguished Chair in Molecular Cardiovascular Research and is a Career Investigator with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Her work bridges circadian biology and cardiovascular medicine, aiming to develop chronotherapeutic interventions for heart disease.
Research Focus: Dr. Martino investigates how circadian rhythms influence myocardial infarction, heart failure, hypertension, and inflammatory responses in cardiovascular disease. Her lab employs transgenic models, molecular biology, and preclinical approaches to uncover time-dependent therapeutic targets.
Scientific Contributions: She has published extensively in top journals like Cell, Circulation Research, and Nature Reviews Cardiology, with a focus on clock gene regulation, microbiome interactions in heart failure, and sex-specific cardiovascular vulnerabilities.
- Honors include the Distinguished Chair and Heart and Stroke Foundation Career Investigator award
- Editorial features in Nature Reviews Cardiology and Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism
Advising: Her lab mentors graduate students Mallory Metcalfe, Vanya Khanna, Robin Harington, and Niru Rameshkumar, fostering interdisciplinary research at the intersection of veterinary and human medicine.
