Anna Cantalupo, PhD
About Me
Anna Cantalupo, PhD is an Instructor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS). With a background as a vascular biologist and pharmacologist, Dr. Cantalupo specializes in understanding how blood flow-induced forces influence gene expression and vascular functions. Her research encompasses the molecular mechanisms underlying vascular health, hypertension, and aortic aneurysm.
Dr. Cantalupo has made significant contributions by investigating the effects of hydrogen sulfide on vascular function, its interaction with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and the role of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) in regulating vascular tone and blood pressure. Her work also includes exploring the pathophysiological mechanisms of ascending aortic aneurysm formation in Marfan syndrome.
Recently, she has focused on kidney physiology in the Satlin laboratory, with ongoing research into the functional characterization of kidney organoids and the mechanisms regulating ion transport within the mouse distal nephron. Dr. Cantalupo's extensive publications in high-impact journals, along with her roles as a reviewer for prominent scientific journals and the American Heart Association, highlight her contributions to the field. She plays a crucial role in managing and advancing research projects, leveraging her expertise to address new biomedical questions and translational studies.
