Personnel

Andreas Patsalos, Ph.D.

Postdoctoral Researcher

Patsalos is a postdoctoral fellow in the Nagy Lab at the Institute for Fundamental Biomedical Research (Johns Hopkins University, Departments of Medicine and Biological Chemistry). He obtained his bachelor’s degree in biology, and his master’s degree in the molecular basis of human disease from the University of Crete, Greece. During his Ph.D. at the University of Debrecen, Hungary, he investigated the role and contribution of myeloid cells to skeletal muscle injury and regeneration, and revealed novel pathways involved in tissue repair. He now seeks to investigate whether any of these pathways could be manipulated in vivo to restore proper muscle regeneration and repair in disease states (i.e. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy), using genome-wide analyses, and disease relevant pre-clinical experimental model systems.

Xiaoyan Wei, Ph.D.

Postdoctoral Researcher

Xiaoyan Wei is a postdoctoral researcher in the Nagy Lab at the Institute for Fundamental Biomedical Research at Johns Hopkins University, Departments of Medicine and Biological Chemistry. She received her bachelor’s degree in life science from Henan Normal University in China, followed by a master’s degree in biochemistry and molecular biology from Beijing Normal University in China. During her Ph.D. at the Max Planck Research Institute of Molecular Genetics/Free University of Berlin, Germany, she investigated the myopathies caused by a genetic disorder named Neurofibromatosis type 1, and revealed a cell autonomous requirement of neurofibromin I for postnatal muscle hypertrophic growth and metabolic homeostasis and the myopathy is caused by premature myogenic progenitor quiescence and can be rescued by Notch pathway inhibition. She now seeks to investigate molecular pathways in regulating skeletal muscle regeneration and related disease with mouse models and unbiased genome wide analysis.

Wilhelm Kristian Berger, B.S.

Research Specialist

Berger received his Bachelor of Science degree in biomedical sciences from the University of Central Florida in 2018. He joined the lab of Dr. Laszlo Nagy at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute in Orlando as a research intern in his final undergraduate year. During his internship he worked on macrophage function during muscle regeneration in response to acute injury. After graduation, Berger was hired as a research technologist by Dr. Nagy’s lab, now at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His main research interest is to determine how macrophages regulate the tissue repair processes in vivo using genomic, epigenomic, and single cell approaches.

Miguel Medina-Serpas, B.S.

Research Specialist

Medina-Serpas worked on projects focused on better understanding the molecular and cellular interactions that regulate skeletal muscle regeneration in both healthy and diseased models. He is especially interested in the contribution of the innate immune compartment, namely the macrophage, in facilitating this process. Medina-Serpas received his Bachelor of Science degree in biomedical sciences from the University of Central Florida and is currently applying to graduate schools in pursuit of a Ph.D.
