Dr. Nilanjana Maulik is a Professor of Molecular Cardiology and heading the Angiogenesis Laboratory at the Department of Surgery, UConn Health, Farmington, Connecticut. Prof. Maulik received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry in December 1990 from Calcutta University, India. After completion of her Ph.D., Prof. Maulik joined the Department of Surgery at UConn Health as a research fellow and continued as a faculty where now she serves as Tenured Professor. She is heavily involved in NIH funded research and serves as one of the experts in the angiogenesis field in the NIH study sections and has given more than 100 invited lectures both nationally and internationally. Prof. Maulik is also member of several prestigious societies, such as FASEB, AHA, ISHR, American College of Nutrition (ACN), International College of Angiology (ICA). She was the member of the Myocardial Ischemia Metabolism (MIM) study section of NIH for last 6 years and of the NHLBI Program Project Review Committee. Presently, Prof. Maulik serves as a reviewer of a several special emphasis panel study section of NIH. She is also a reviewer of the AHA Grant review process. She is on several Editorial boards of major cardiovascular journals. She is an associate editor of Molecular Cellular Biochemistry journal. Teaching is an integral part of her professional path. She is a recipient of several prestigious awards including Faculty Recognition award from the University of Connecticut Health Center. Her research focuses on the molecular mechanism of myocardial angiogenesis in the diseased/infarcted heart, ischemia/reperfusion injury, apoptosis and on the development of cardioprotective strategies which includes gene and stem cell therapy. She has published 170 original peer reviewed articles and 35 book chapters and very recently (2010) she has edited a book on epigenetics and human diseases for CRC press. Prof. Maulik has organized several international conferences/symposia, etc.

Inspite of significant improvements in its medical and surgical management Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) is still the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world. The health care system of the modern world has come up with good therapeutic methods, in time, to fight the devastating effects of the disease but it doesn’t seem to be enough to tackle still many aspects of the disease. Now the pressure is even greater on basic scientists and clinicians to deliver their best to translate their knowledge from bench to bedside.


Dr Maulik and her team is dedicated to bring about better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that govern the pathology of IHDs and the processes of angiogenesis and arteriogenesis in cellular and animal models of heart disease and to apply this basic knowledge obtained to tackle this dreaded disease by employing newer and better therapeutic approaches to protect, rescue, repair or regenerate the myocardium from ischemia induced myocardial degeneration and failure.


The process of cellular regeneration and repair which leads to reconstruction of structural and functional normal tissue in an injured area is undoubtedly highly efficient in embryos. However this ability is lost at the time of birth. During the fetal life both tissue repair refer to an identical biological response to injury, however, after birth they refer to two distinct biological processes. In the case of tissue repair, an injury results in repair and scar formation in all organs while on the other hand regeneration implies the replacement of dead cells by newly formed cells that differentiate and organize aiding in the restoration of the original structure of the lost tissue. This process of tissue regeneration occurs during the normal physiological cell turnover process, however in the absence of injury.


Several attempts have been made to promote cardiac regeneration in the infarcted ventricle. However despite many efforts to unearth a suitable strategy, the most appropriate form of myocardial regeneration therapy after myocardial injury remains to be identified. Over the past few years the better understanding of the biology of vasculogenesis, angiogenesis and arteriogenesis has significantly increased the use of growth factors in the treatment and/or prevention ischemic heart disease by inducing blood vessel formation and thereby restoring/enriching the blood flow. Therapeutic angiogenesis makes use of the administration of a drug or angiogenic growth factor protein or gene to promote the development of endogenous collateral vessels in ischemic myocardium. Gene transfer and protein therapy are the two main approaches that have been used to achieve therapeutic angiogenesis. Most recently, interest has grown in the potential of cell-based gene transfer to induce myocardial angiogenesis and arteriogenesis. It has been established in many preclinical studies that bone marrow cells may be able to secrete multiple potentially angiogenic substances as well as differentiate into cells that create new blood vessels. But the concept of myogenesis is not far behind as it is known that there may be dedicated precursors of cardiomyocytes in the myocardium, however, it seems to be little bit more far fetched in relation to the differentiation of bone-marrow-derived cells into heart muscle cells. It still remains elusive whether the transplanted cells themselves differentiate, or whether the paracrine effects from these transplanted cells stimulate already resident stem cells in the heart to differentiate.


Dr. Maulik’s research strategy combines expertise in different model systems to study IHD and the processes of angiogenesis and arteriogenesis, in vitro (cell culture), ex vivo (Langendorff and working heart model of myocardial global ischemia) and in vivo (rat and mouse survival surgery/LAD occlusion model myocardial regional ischemia) along with the various molecular biology techniques, proteomics, genomics, immunohsitochemical technique, small animal echocardiographic analysis and other imaging techniques that are made available to the fellows. Her laboratory also have expertise in non-invasive administration of drugs, adenovirus associated gene transfer and cell-based gene transfer to the myocardium to study the effect of inducing or turning off genes of interest in the process or angiogenesis, arteriogenesis and myocardial regeneration.


Her laboratory currently focuses on:


1) Molecular and cellular signaling during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion.
2) Mechanism of pharmacological as well as ischemic preconditioning of the heart.
3) Pharmacological preconditioning of sick hearts as in the case diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia etc.
4) The role of ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of different proteins in sick hearts.
5) Impairment of myocardial angiogenesis in diabetes: How to cope and Thrive
6) Adenovirus associated gene transfer and cell-based gene transfer to study the effect of inducing or turning off genes of interest in the process of myocardial regeneration.
7) Molecular mechanism of angiogenesis and arteriogenesis in hind limb ischemia model.


Science is quickening its pace towards better ideas in every field it has stepped into, particularly in the field of medicine. A time may not be far when we might be able to effectively cure IHD. But, “prevention is always better than cure”.
