About
Dr. Catalina Moreno investigates how peptides regulate extracellular matrix remodeling at Columbia University. Her work bridges basic cell biology and translational dermatology.
Summary
Pioneered live-cell imaging protocols for tracking peptide-receptor internalization in real time.
Key Lessons
Early microscopy artifacts led her to develop standardized peptide-fluorescence tagging protocols now used across three continents.
