Maurizio Mandalà is an Associate Professor at the University of Calabria, Italy and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Vermont, USA. He completed his Ph.D. in Physiology at the University of Calabria (UNICAL)-University of Bergen (UIB). He then trained as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Physiology, University of Bergen (1999–2000), at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Vermont (2000/2001), and at the Department of Neurochemistry, France (Marie Curie grant, 2002–2003). His research focus on the vascular physiology, beginning with studies using primary endothelial cells culture in culture and later by using intact resistance arteries isolated from a different rat regional circulations such as brain, uterus, and mesentery. His current research is focused on understanding the signals, pathways, and patterns of uterine vascular remodeling in normal pregnancy, and to identify the cellular changes induced by gestational hypertension that lead to altered vascular reactivity in the uterine circulation, but also in the splanchnic (mesenteric) vessels that are a principal site of peripheral resistance and blood pressure regulation.
