Angelo D'Alessandro · Denver, Colorado
Dr. Angelo D'Alessandro's lab focuses on understanding how red blood cells age and respond to oxidative stress, which is crucial for oxygen transport in the human body. The lab investigates the process of ferroptosis, a unique form of cell death that occurs in response to iron-induced oxidative damage. By studying both in vivo and in vitro models, the research aims to uncover how this process affects red blood cell health and storage, with implications for blood transfusions and overall human health.
