Professor Gabriele Giacomo Schiattarella

Gabriele Schiattarella is a cardiologist-scientist whose research focuses on molecular mechanisms of remodeling in the disease-stressed myocardium. He received his MD in 2009 from the University Federico II of Naples (Italy). After completing a fellowship in Cardiology at the same university (2015) and matriculating in a PhD program in Experimental Medicine, he moved to University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, USA where he completed his PhD program and currently serve as researcher. Gabriele’s background is in medicine, experimental cardiology and cellular/molecular biology, with specific training and expertise in murine models of cardiovascular disease and preclinical assessment of cardiovascular function. His research interests include molecular mechanisms of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure (HFpEF and HFrEF); mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive oxygen species production and nitrosative stress in cardiomyocytes as well as regulation of protein quality
