Onur Kanisicak, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Division of Regenerative Medicine, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine

Dr. Kanisicak’s research program focuses on the examination and manipulation of various cellular compartments within the cardiovascular system with an overall goal to identify novel therapeutic targets to prevent fibrosis and to promote cardiac wound healing. Towards these efforts, current projects in the Kanisicak lab employ in vivo genetic interrogation methods to determine the lineage plasticity and role of cardiac interstitial cells involved in fibrogenesis, as well as efforts to promote cardiomyocyte survival and enhance cardiac protection.
