Biography
Dr. Kanashiro-Takeuchi received her DVM degree from Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP-Brazil) and completed her graduate studies (Masters and Ph.D.) in Pharmacology (Emphasis in Physiology) from Universidade Federal de Sao Paulo (UNIFESP-Brazil) where she got training in many aspects of the cardiovascular investigation employing both in vitro and in vivo strategies to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of cardiac remodeling and dysfunction following myocardial infarction. She then joined The Johns Hopkins University as a postdoctoral fellow, to work under Dr. Joshua Hare. In 2006, she moved to the University of Miami to continue her training with Dr. Hare at the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute (ISCI), where she broadened her experience in cardiovascular physiology using animal models of heart failure, and ground-breaking research using stem cells and exosomes in cardiac and kidney repair following ischemic injury.
During this time, she expanded greatly her scientific repertoire and developed expertise in cardiac imaging, including Doppler-based methods, pressure-volume techniques and analysis to evaluate intact heart function, molecular and cellular biology, biochemical techniques, immunostaining, and confocal microscopy. Dr. Kanashiro-Takeuchi has more than 20 years of experience in the cardiovascular field. -

Research Interests
I have a long-standing interest in understanding the molecular mechanisms that mediate cardiac remodeling and heart failure (HF), particularly, due to myocardial infarction. More recently, I have been also investigating non-ischemic models of HF, including cardio-renal and cardiometabolic models of HF with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) with a special interest in interactions between myocardial and systemic metabolism, obesity and cardiovascular disease, pulmonary hypertension, and aging. -
