Biography

David Calderwood is a Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Cell Biology at Yale School of Medicine. He earned his PhD from the University of Manchester in 1996. His research focuses on integrins, which are essential heterodimeric adhesion receptors that play critical roles in cell adhesion, migration, and signaling. Calderwood investigates the molecular mechanisms by which integrins are regulated, including their interactions with cytoskeletal proteins and signaling pathways. His laboratory is also involved in studying integrin-linked kinase and its complex with PINCH proteins. His work has implications in areas such as angiogenesis, tumor metastasis, and cellular responses in health and disease.
