Education

Biography

Manuela Martins-Green is Professor of Cell Biology in the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience at the University of California, Riverside. Professor Martins-Green came to the US from Portugal on a Fulbright Fellowship and received a PhD in Zoology with emphasis in Developmental Biology from the University of California, Davis Dec 1987. She held a postdoctoral fellowship at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a National Research Service Award, and was Adjunct Assistant Professor at Rockefeller University before joining the UC Riverside faculty in 1993.

Research Interest

Research and Teaching: She is an internationally recognized researcher in wound healing and tissue engineering and pioneered the role of chemokines in wound healing and angiogenesis. More recently, her research program has expanded to development of ways to improve burn healing using insulin dressings, has developed a murine model for study of the basic cell and molecular mechanisms of chronic wounds, studies on the effects of tobacco toxin on healing and studies the effects of pomegranate juice components on metastasis of prostate cancer.
