Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Lais Ferreira's research focuses on developing and utilizing microphysiological systems to investigate the progression of calcific aortic valve disease. Her work involves creating three-dimensional "valve-on-chip" models that mimic the biological environment of the aortic valve. These systems allow for the study of cellular processes and molecular mechanisms underlying disease development. In her recent publications, Ferreira and her collaborators have implicated cell cycle progression, cholesterol metabolism, and protein homeostasis in the early stages of calcific aortic valve disease. They have also identified novel biomarkers associated with the disease's progression using these advanced microphysiological platforms. Her research network includes collaborators from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, such as Gustavo Vaca-Diez, Ishita Tandon, Alan E. Woessner, and Kartik Balachandran.
