Dr. Rabinovich-Nikitin’s research program focuses on understanding sex-dependent influences that link circadian biology and cardiometabolic dysfunction in heart failure. Studies are directed toward understanding the molecular signaling pathways that impact cardiac metabolism and the environmental influences imposed by alterations in the light/dark cycle.
In addition, Dr. Rabinovich-Nikitin’s research program focuses on pregnancy complications, and how disrupting light/dark cycles during pregnancy mutually affect the mother and the fetus. The long-term goal of this research is directed toward developing new therapeutic strategies that will mitigate cardiometabolic dysfunction and heart failure, as well reduce the increased risk for cardiovascular disease from pregnancy complications.
Dr. Rabinovich-Nikitin received her PhD from Tel-Aviv University, followed by a postdoctoral training at the University of Manitoba, where she received a fellowship from the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR).
Dr. Rabinovich-Nikitin focuses her research program on women’s heart health, with the goal to advance knowledge and education toward improved diagnosis, treatment and quality of life of women with cardiac disease. She is highly involved in advocacy programs as well as knowledge translation activities to increase knowledge and awareness on Women’s Heart Health.
Dr. Rabinovich-Nikitin has a track record of publishing in high quality, peer-reviewed journals, including Circulation, Journal of Clinical Investigations, Circulation Research, Autophagy, Nature Communication, Cardiovascular Research and others.
She co-editing a book on the Biology of women’s heart health and a special issue on cardiac growth control and heart cell death in the journal Cells.
She also serves on many journal editorial boards, including Circulation Research and Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, as well as Associate Editor in Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pathophysiology.
