Records 1 - 15 of 15
Name | Personal Focus | Summary |
---|---|---|
Fernanda Bruschi Marinho PrivieroResearch Associate Professor |
Fernanda Priviero, Ph.D. is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, School of Medicine Columbia. | |
Dr. Daping FanProfessor |
The general research interest of our laboratory is to promote the regression of atherosclerotic plaque through restoring macrophage cholesterol homeostasis and controlling macrophage inflammation. | |
Dr. Edie C. GoldsmithProfessor |
The focus of my research is to understand the functional role of this new class of ECM receptors, particularly DDR2, in cardiac development. The main focus currently is exploring the role of DDR2 in mediating ECM remodeling during atrioventricular cushion formation during early valve development. | |
Benjamin Allen HawfieldClinical Assistant Professor |
Ben Hawfield is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Cell Biology & Anatomy, School of Medicine Columbia. | |
Dr. Ambrish KumarResearch Assistant Professor |
Ambrish Kumar is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Cell Biology & Anatomy, School of Medicine Columbia. | |
Austin Nicholas WordenResearch Assistant Professor |
Austin Worden is the Director of the Instrumentation Resource Facility. He first received his B.S. in biology from the University of South Carolina Aiken while performing HIV silencing research under Dr. Bill Jackson. He then completed his M.S. in biomedical sciences, concentrating on applied biotechnology at the USC School of Medicine Columbia. Finally, Dr. Worden received his PhD in biomedical science, concentrating on cellular and molecular biology from the USC School of Medicine Columbia. | |
Xiao-hua ZhangResearch Assistant Professor |
Xiao-Hua Zhang is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Cell Biology & Anatomy Department in the School of Medicine Columbia. | |
Dr. Wayne CarverDepartment Chair/Professor |
cardiovascular development and disease | The research in Dr. Carver's lab is focused on understanding how fibroblast behavior and gene expression are regulated in the heart. Cell culture and animal models are being used to examine the regulation of fibroblasts in cardiovascular disease. |
Dr. Wenbin TanAssociate Professor |
develop new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of CVM, investigate the neuro-vascular interaction and determine if nerve defects contribute to the PWS, determine the role of EC released exosomes in the development of vascular phenotypes in CVM | Wenbin Tan, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, School of Medicine Columbia. |
Dr. Mohamad Azhar, PhDAssociate Professor |
Heart, Lung, Blood Vessels Research, Growth Factors, Cytokines, Extracellular Matrix, Knock out, Conditional Knockout, Transgenic Mice | Dr. Azhar received his MSc in Biotechnology from the Aligarh University and his PhD in Developmental Biology from the Indian Institute of Science. He has a long background in research focused on transforming growth factor-beta and received an R01 from the NIH for “Analysis of TGF-beta ligands function in heart development and disease”. He also received an established Investigator grant (Grant-In-Aid) from the American Heart Association to study the role of TGF-beta in aneurysm. |
Jack G. GoldsmithClinical Professor |
medical biochemistry sequence | Broadly speaking, Dr. Goldsmith is interested in applying analytical methods, including chromatographic, spectroscopic, and imaging, to biological problems. Serving as a principle faculty member in the medical biochemistry sequence and course director of the graduate biochemistry courses, Dr. Goldsmith is also interested in developing new educational resources and pedagogical methods in an effort to increase student comprehension and retention. |
Dr. Martin MoradProfessor |
Regenerative Medicine and Cell Biology | Dr. Morad is an internationally recognized scientist in the field of cardiac electrophysiology and calcium signaling, specifically in the area of calcium-binding proteins. The cardiac muscle is a complex system composed of 40,000 proteins. These proteins "tell" the heart how to contract and how fast; they also control how heart muscle grows and regenerates. Calcium acts as a signaling mechanism in the function of these proteins. Dr. Morad seeks to discover what causes these calcium signaling mec |
Dr. Holly A LavoieProfessor |
Reproductive Biology, Endocrinology, Cardiovascular | Our lab studies the transcriptional control of genes mediating ovarian follicular growth, differentiation, and steroidogenesis in the ovary. We study how mRNA biomarkers from granulosa cells can be used to improve IVF outcomes. We also study heart remodeling during and after pregnancy. |
Dr. Jay D PottsProfessor |
Stem Cells, Development, Heart, Regenerative Medicine, bioengineering | My laboratory is using developmental biology and its tenets in the pursuit of problems facing regenerative medicine. We use novel stem cells and scaffolds to try and mimic in vivo development in the hopes of gaining knowledge for potential therapuetic uses. We have focused on the heart, bone and more recently wound healing. We use state of the art technologies to bear including bioengineering aspects in answering these challenging questions |
Colin EvansAssistant Professor |
thrombus formation and resolution, inflammatory lung injury and repair, improve the understanding and treatment of inflammatory vascular diseases | Dr. Evans obtained his PhD at King’s College London (2011) and performed postdoctoral training at the University of Cambridge (2011-2017) and Northwestern University (2017-2019). Following his appointment to the research faculty of Northwestern University (2019-2023), he joined the University of South Carolina as Assistant Professor (2023-present). In his current role, he is a lead faculty member of the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy and the Cardiovascular Translational Research Center. |
