Biography

Ms. Ioana Cucu is a 6th-year medical student at “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, Romania. She is interested in finding therapeutic strategies especially for cardiac regeneration. She is also an aficionado of the molecular mechanisms underlying signaling pathways regulation. Her published papers (https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3496-7562) scrutinize therapeutic targets not only to prevent/ treat different neoplasms and inflammation in cardiovascular diseases but also to promote cardiomyocyte/ salivary gland regeneration. These studies include crosstalks between signaling pathways and protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in diverse cell types with several applications in regenerative medicine.
