Nilda Sanchez-Castellanos, PhD
 |
Dr. Nilda Sanchez -Castellanos is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Pulmonary, Allergies and Critical Care Division, at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where she has been working on investigating molecular mechanisms of delayed lung injury caused by arsenical exposures and the effects of ultrafine particles in acute lung injury using a mouse model. Her contributions to this research aim to elucidate the action mechanism of a single dose of arsenic exposure of environmental pollutants to the pathogenesis of peribronchial fibrosis, as well as to a better understanding of the effects of inhalation of ultrafine particles in lung injury in short and long-term environmental exposures.
Dr. Sanchez -Castellanos received her doctorate in Cellular and Molecular Biology from the Autonomous University of the State of Morelos, Mexico, in 2020 and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Center of Genomics Science from 2020-2022. Dr. Sanchez-Castellanos has served as Secretary of the Postdoctoral Association at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She is an author/co-author of 11 peer-reviewed research articles, 4 of which she is the first author.
Dr. Sanchez -Castellanos has been a member of the SOT since 2024 as a Postdoctoral member and she has presented her work in 3 posters.
