1. Dr. Rajaa El Bekay Rizky
Senior reseacher from Biomedical Invesigation Institut of Malaga (IBIMA)
My expertise
-Isolation, characterization and differentiation of Stem cells and stromal cells derived from human adipose tissues; visceral, subcutaneous and thymus fat from cardiomyopathy ischemic patients, from subjects with obesity and metabolic syndrome
-The Studies of the neovascular properties of adipose tissue derived multipotent mesenchymal cells from the thymus of elderly cardiomyopathy ischemic patients
-The studies related to the analysis of the susceptibility of adipose tissue derived stem cells to the influence of age and aging-associated pathologies.
-The involvement of microRNAs on rodent and human adipose tissue-derived stem cells regulation.
-The influence of adipose tissue derived stem cells secretoma on brain dysfunction in relation to obesity metabolic syndrome and mental diseases.

2. Expected benefits and activities during participation in BIONECA:
Share knowledge and experience with groups who use stem cells for cardiac neovascularization and heart diseases
Share knowledge, experience and compare protocols and strategies to progress with groups who use stem cells for heart diseases , especially those who use stem cells derived from adipose tissue
Would like to learn from groups who are experienced in trails using stem cells for vessel and cardiac regeneration .
Would like to benefit from modeling to adjust protocols for manipulation with stem cells
Would like to join an innovative partner consortium for new project applications
Foreseen maximum contribution: in WG4 Stem cells, cardiology and neurology
