Ana Maria Cuervo (born July 14, 1966 in Barcelona ) is a Spanish - American molecular biologist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University .
Life
Ana Maria Cuervo obtained a doctorate in medicine from the University of Valencia in 1990 and a Ph.D. there in 1994. in biochemistry and molecular biology. As a postdoctoral researcher , she worked at Tufts University , where she received a research professorship in 1998. Since 2001 she has been a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City . Here she is (as of 2020) Co-Director of the Einstein Institute for Aging Research .
Cuervo and co-workers investigate the role of autophagy and its disorders in certain neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic disorders . Cuervo was able to show that autophagy is a targeted process and work out various mechanisms of its regulation. She thus contributed to the development of the concept of proteostasis ( homeostasis of intracellular proteins ), or the failure of proteostasis in old age , in aging and in age-related diseases.
According to the Scopus database , Cuervo has an h-index of 95, according to Google Scholar one of 105 (both as of January 2020).
In 2017 Cuervo was elected a foreign member of the Real Academia de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales , in 2018 a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences , and in 2019 a member of the National Academy of Sciences . In 2016 she gave a Harvey Lecture .
