Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Gustavo Vaca Diez's research focuses on developing and utilizing microphysiological systems, specifically valve-on-chip models, to investigate the progression of calcific aortic valve disease. His work has implicated cell cycle progression, cholesterol metabolism, and protein homeostasis in the early stages of this condition. He has also explored the mechanosensitive pathways affected by physiological and pathological strain on valve cells within these novel systems.
In addition to his work on disease mechanisms, Vaca Diez has contributed to research on participatory science and immunology education, particularly within diverse Latin American populations. His scholarly output includes publications on time-domain estimation of arterial parameters using computational methods. He has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Kartik Balachandran, Ishita Tandon, Alan E. Woessner, and Jin-Woo Kim.
