Neris Michel Enamorado Escalona, PhD
About Me
Michel Enamorado, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Dermatology with an affiliation to the Friedman Brain Institute, the Precision Immunology Institute, and the Mark Lebwohl Center for Neuroinflammation and Sensation at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He received his B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Havana, where he achieved the Best National Academic Performance. His academic journey led him to complete his Ph.D. research in the Immunobiology Laboratory at the Spanish National Center for Cardiovascular Research, culminating in a Ph.D. in Molecular Biosciences from the Autonomous University of Madrid in Spain. His Ph.D. studies on basic immunology, tumor immunology and immunometabolism were sponsored by the prestigious "La Caixa-Severo Ochoa" International PhD Fellowship Program. Dr. Enamorado's pursuit of knowledge continued as he joined the laboratory of Dr. Yasmine Belkaid at the National Institutes of Health. His research was supported by the Cancer Research Institute Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. Here, he delved into the exploration of host-microbiota interaction and neuroimmune responses in the skin.
Within the Enamorado Lab, a focal point of investigation lies on understanding the neuroimmune regulation of injury and repair. Dr. Enamorado's research aims to unravel the 1) Peripheral Neuroimmune Regulation of Injury and Repair at Barrier Tissues. 2) Brain Sensing of Injury and Repair. 3) Impact of Injury and Repair on Mental Health. By advancing our understanding of the neuroimmune mechanisms at play, we will contribute to the development of personalized, targeted therapies that can make a meaningful difference in patients live.
In recognition of his outstanding scientific contributions, Dr. Enamorado has garnered a series of honors and awards, including the 2022 ICIS-PFIZER Junior Investigator Award from the International Cytokine and Interferon Society, the 2023 NIH-William E. Paul Award for the Best Paper in Cytokine Research, the 2023 Mount Sinai Biomedical Laureates Program Award, the NIAID Career Transition Award (K22), and the NIH FIRST Program Award at Sinai. His accomplishments reflect his commitment to advancing our understanding of complex neuroimmune interactions and their impact on tissue function.
