Dr. Noam Zuela-Sopilniak obtained a B.Sc. in basic medical science and a Ph.D. in human genetics studying a diverse group of diseases called laminopathies. At Cornell, She is interested in studying the diverse roles of the nuclear envelope protein lamin A/C in both cardiac disease and cancer. Specifically, she aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms leading to lamin A/C related cardiomyopathy, as well as to determine the role lamin A/C play in cancer severity and metastatic potential in vivo and how alterations in cancer cell metabolism affect lamin A/C levels.
