Alexandra Naba, PhD, is Associate Professor in the Department Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at UIC. The Naba Laboratory uses cutting-edge proteomics and bioinformatics to study the role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in development, health and disease, with a particular focus on cancer. Their goal is to better understand how the ECM contributes to diseases to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. She is also founder of the Matrisome Project and the database MatrisomeDB, two major resources for ECM research used worldwide.
