Dr. Nora Calcaterra
Associate Professor
The University of Nevada, Reno, USA
Dr. Calcaterra’s lab develops two research lines trying to answer questions related to the development of craniofacial structures. The approach is at two levels: the modelling of human craniofacial disorders (cleft palate, aberrations in the formation of maxilla and mandible, etc.) employing the zebrafish as experimental model, and the characterization of molecular mechanisms that control gene expression by involving single-stranded nucleic acid binding proteins. Dr. Calcaterra’s is funded by NIH.
