Dr. João Cardeira da Silva
By using regenerative animal models, I am interested in identifying and studying molecular and cellular modulators of tissue regeneration. Specifically, I aim to understand how the immune system defines the spectrum of regenerative outcomes post-cardiac injury. Currently, I am dissecting the immune response following zebrafish cardiac injury, towards ultimately identifying mechanisms with the potential to ameliorate adverse remodeling and improve key aspects of heart regeneration.
