Teresa Jover-Mengual

Teresa Jover-Mengual is a Visiting Associate Professor in both the Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience and the Saul R. Korey Department of Neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Her research focuses on molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying ischemic brain damage and neuroprotection, particularly in experimental stroke models. She investigates REST gene expression programs, microRNA roles in neuronal survival, and mitophagy's role in preconditioning-induced neuroprotection.

Her work integrates translational research on estrogen-based neuroprotection, signaling pathways (e.g., MAPK/ERK, PI3K/Akt), and novel therapeutic strategies for stroke. Key areas include ischemic preconditioning, diabetic stroke mechanisms, and vascular responses in neurological disorders. Research highlights include studies on selective estrogen receptor modulators like bazedoxifene and the MDM2-p53 pathway's neuroprotective roles.

Publications emphasize stroke pathophysiology, neuroendocrine interactions, and molecular mechanisms of neuronal death/survival. Her work bridges basic science and clinical applications in neurology, with a focus on developing neuroprotective interventions.
