Professional Summary

In my Ph.D. studies as well as in my Postdoctoral fellowship, I have been involved in the development and application of novel analytical chemistry approaches directed to relevant bio-medical and environmental problems. The analysis of biomolecules by state-of-the-art techniques has taken me to a broad spectrum of fields, from plant analysis to proteomics experiments.

The focus of my current research is the role of metals in biological systems, in particular, the relevance of zinc, copper, iron and manganese in host-pathogen interactions. For this I employ chromatographic methods coupled to Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometry, (HPLC-ICP-MS) as well as molecular mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-ME-MS) to study the chemical speciation of Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn. These chemical elements are essential micro nutrients for both pathogenic organisms and the host, they can play an important role in the virulence, immune response and fate of the invasive microorganism.

I am also interested in the development of new strategies for the analysis of micro-samples by atomic and molecular mass spectrometry techniques. This is an essential requirement to obtain high statistical confidence with limited amount of samples, as is typically required at an immunology lab.

Research and Practice Interests

In my Ph.D. studies as well as in my Postdoctoral fellowship I have been involved in the development and use of analytical chemistry methods directed to biologically relevant problems. The analysis of biomolecules by state-of-the-art techniques has taken me to a broad spectrum of fields, from plant analysis to proteomics experiments. As a postdoctoral fellow in the Metallomics Center of the Americas, Department of Chemistry, University of Cincinnati my research was focused on the regulatory effects of cytokines on the zinc proteome of macrophage in response to Histoplasma capsulatum infection, by analyzing through chromatographically coupled to elemental and molecular mass spectrometric techniques. The search for clinically relevant biomarkers has also been an area of interest, and has been applied to serum of hypertensive patients, in the search of metalloproteins and non-metal containing proteins as putative biomarkers for ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.
The focus of my current research is the role of metals in biological systems, in particular, the relevance of zinc, copper, iron and manganese in host-pathogen interactions. These chemical elements are essential micro nutrients for both pathogenic organisms and the host, and because of that, they can play an important role in the virulence or defeat of the invasive microorganisms.
 
We have studied this interactions and found evidence of nutritional immunity, the directed deprivation of elements (Zn) as a defense mechanism of immune cells (macrophages), against pathogens at in vitro and in vivo models. By using metallomics schemes, we perform chromatographic separations with elemental specific ICP-MS or molecular structural ESI-IT-MSMS detectors to identify the metal containing species involved in this phenomenon.
 
Our research interest extends beyond the nutritional immunity to the functional role of high and low molecular mass metal-containing species in the virulence of extracellular bacteria. This includes the signaling and activation of important excreted molecules, like proteases and linkage adherence factor proteins that can help the pathogens to avoid or survive the immune system attacks.

Honors and Awards

2018 Outstanding Undergraduate Research Advising in 2018, at the Undergraduate Scholarly Showcase last week. Students who registered to present their work at the Undergraduate Scholarly Showcase were all invited to nominate their research advisor for an award. The impetus for Dr. Landero’s nomination was the time and care he takes with training his students in understanding all aspects of the research process. UC Experience-based Learning and Career Education Status:Recipient Level:University Type:Recognition

2019 -2020 Team Science Award from the College of Medicine The Team Science Award will recognize a team of College of Medicine faculty members who have successfully created and sustained a multidisciplinary research team that significantly contributes to the mission of the College. A team must consist of at least 4 full time faculty members that each play a significant and inter-disciplinary role in the team. While a team will typically have members from the affiliated institutions (e.g. CCHMC, VA), the team should be led by a full-time CoM faculty member or the majority of the members must be CoM faculty. The team will receive $5,000, recognition at the annual Research Recognition Awards Program, and recognition in the College of Medicine Annual Research Report.
