He acquired intense molecular/cell biology knowledge and techniques in Dr Louis Pelus’s lab. Most recently, he opted to direct his studies to the pancreatic islet β cell, a cell known to be susceptible to apoptosis, and joined the lab of Dr. Debbie Thurmond, renowned for expertise with islet and skeletal muscle vesicle trafficking mechanisms as they pertain to diabetes. In addition, this training experience further enhanced my research development by acquiring skills in interrogating the cell-specific molecular mechanisms underlying the whole-body physiology of diabetes. 2011 he was awarded a CTSI KL2 Translational Research award and have just submitted his third independent paper as corresponding author. Over the past 10 years his research revealed Pak1 to be a positive effector of pancreatic β-cell function, operating in a novel signaling cascade that is crucial to maintaining whole-body glucose metabolism. Most importantly, data he have generated during the course of my CTSI KL2 independent career award indicates that Pak1 serves as a critical signal-hub for pancreatic β cell survival and replication.

Enrica Laura Santarcangelo has entirely devoted her research to the physiological correlates of the cognitive trait of hypnotisability in the perspective of the experimental hypnosis, which is based on the assumption that hypnotic responding is a function of the scores obtained on hypnotisability scales. Her activity is aimed at investigating hypnotisability as a factor possibly responsible for part of the individual variability in sensorimotor integration and autonomic control. She studies the physiological differences between healthy subjects with high (highs), medium (mediums) and low (lows) hypnotisability scores in their ordinary state of consciousness and also in the absence of specific suggestions
