Dr. Vanessa G. Cuellar graduated from the Honors Program in Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), completing an honors thesis in the laboratory of Jeffrey H. Miller in DNA repair and mutagenesis. She was awarded a Medical Scholars research fellowship in medical school and studied non-viral gene therapy in the lab of Michele P. Calos in the Department of Genetics at Stanford University School of Medicine. Her affiliation with Cytonics follows first research collaborations with Dr. Gaetano Scuderi leading to the identification of molecular biomarkers of severe arthropathy. She is currently a resident in orthopaedic surgery at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases as part of the Clinician Scientist Training Program and has completed a year of research in molecular biomarkers of osteoarthritis and cartilage disease in the Musculoskeletal Research Center at NYU.
