Associate Research Scientist (Cardiovascular Medicine)

Biography

Ivan is an Associate Research Scientist in the Nicoli Lab at Yale University, where he focuses on neurovascular development, microRNA function, and nanotechnology applications using zebrafish models. He earned his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he studied the immunomodulatory effects of selenium nanoparticles in zebrafish. In 2020, Ivan joined the Nicoli Lab to investigate the complex mechanisms of neurovascular development and the impact of cerebrovascular diseases. His research aims to understand how phenotypic variations are established during embryonic development and identify those that may predispose individuals to brain diseases. Ultimately, his goal is to predict and prevent cerebrovascular diseases. In 2022, for his research, Ivan received the prestigious AHA Postdoctoral Fellowship to support his work.
