Caterina Strambio-De-Castillia

Dr. Strambio-De-Castillia is a Faculty member at UMass Medical School and a Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Imaging Scientist. She has multifaceted training spanning cellular biology, biochemistry, and mass spectrometry, virology, electron and light microscopy, computer science, and bio-image informatics. She has an ongoing interest in elucidating the fundamental principles governing the intracellular trafficking of viruses, the dynamic regulation of nucleocytoplasmic transport as it interfaces with nuclear envelope structure and with chromatin organization and function. More recently, she spearheaded several multi-disciplinary bio-image informatics projects and initiatives aimed at promoting scientific rigor, reproducibility, and the FAIR exchange of data through the standardization of metadata guidelines and quality-control procedures, and the development of shared software infrastructure for imaging pipelines.
