Dr. Cieslik is a basic research scientist whose primary interest is dissecting molecular and cellular mechanisms of cardiac aging.
The goal of her research is to understand the changes that promote cardiac inflammation and fibrosis and how the basic mechanisms differ between males and females. In her research, she modulates cellular phenotypes to reduce inflammation and/or fibrosis and analyses its effect on diastolic heart function.
Her lab also works on developing pharmacological treatments to prevent inflammation-coupled maladaptive remodeling, including dietary interventions. Her lab uses in vivo, in vitro and ex vivo approaches and recently her team has developed a 3D tissue culture technique using decellularized cardiac tissue and biomaterials.
Over the years, Dr. Cieslik has served on multiple grant review NIH study sections. She is currently funded by the National Institute on Aging and is a fellow of the American Heart Association.
