Yamaja B Setty

Sr Research Scientist

Nemours Children's Hospital, Delaware 1600 Rockland Road Wilmington, DE 19803

Biography

Dr Setty joined Nemours Research in 2014 and is a Senior Research Scientist. He received his PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Mysore, Mysore, India in 1982. After receiving his Post-Doctoral Training at the State University of New York, Syracuse, NY, Dr Setty worked as a Research Assistant Professor at Temple University School of Medicine and as a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Thomas Jefferson University. His research at Temple and Thomas Jefferson University was focused on understanding the role of vaso-active eicosanoids in sickle red cell-endothelial adhesion and characterizing adhesion molecules involved in endothelial cell-sickle red cell interaction. Dr Setty's current research interests at Nemours include in vivo changes in omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and their relationships to inflammatory biomarkers and clinical correlates in children with sickle cell disease.
