Debora Esposito

Bio

Our key scientific goal at the Esposito lab is the pursuit of an integrated understanding of the molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms by which select plant-derived proteins and phytoactives may modulate tissue regeneration and repair. Our research has encompassed the disciplines of plant chemistry, inflammation, skin biology, muscle physiology, basic and applied molecular and cellular biology and nutrition. The research has spanned both the basic and clinical sciences.
