Anthony Demartino

Dr. DeMartino earned his B.S. in chemistry from Wake Forest University and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2017 where he specialized in bioinorganic reaction mechanisms, chemical synthesis, and reaction kinetics involving small bioregulation molecules like nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). In 2018, he joined Dr. Mark Gladwin’s group at the University of Pittsburgh for his postdoctoral work, where he focuses on the chemistry and translational research of heme-based proteins and models and their interactions with NO, CO, and nitrite. His current research interests specifically include a) the activation and metabolism of inorganic nitrite by hemoproteins; b) the determination of native substrates, redox chemistry, and functions of the hemoproteins cytoglobin and neuroglobin; c) and the development of hemoprotein-based therapeutics for CO poisoning. Dr. DeMartino joined Globin Solutions as a Research Director in 2021.
