Elva Díaz is a pharmacology[1][2] professor and researcher who specializes in developmental neurobiology. Her laboratory uses rodents to study molecular mechanisms of brain development.[3][4][5].
Early life and education
[edit]Elva Díaz was born to Mexican immigrant parents who moved to California during their childhood[6].
Díaz attended Harvard University for her undergraduate studies where she majored in Biomechanical Science[5] and earned a PhD in Biochemistry at Stanford University[5].
Research and Career
Díaz’s research focuses on the molecular mechanisms involved in the development, function, and plasticity of excitatory synapses in the central nervous system (CNS)[5]. Díaz is a recipient of the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award[7]
One of Díaz’s core areas of research involve the exploration of the potential of pluripotent stem cells combined with immunotherapy to treat brain cancers[3]. In her research she has identified that tumor cells in the brain form pseudo synapses with the CNS to take over nutrients and mimic normal cellular communications[3].
Elva Díaz also investigates the dynamics of AMPA-type glutamate receptors, key components in fast synaptic transmission essential for memory in the brain[8]. Díaz's team has identified a protein called SynDIG4 that regulates this receptor movement, potentially enhancing memory strength[8].

- Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, 2004[9]
- National Institutes of Health Director's New Innovator Award, 2014[9][7]
