Dr. Saitta is a molecular and stem cell biologist who studies regulation of extracellular matrix genes during cartilage and bone development. His recent studies explore the impact of the kidney’s metabolic pathways on the development and maintenance of bone. His projects and collaborations combine work in basic gene regulation and in regenerative medicine, which includes work with human stem cells. He is studying their common biochemical and signaling pathways toward translational applications for therapies of human disorders involving kidney and bone.

Dr. Saitta earned his PhD in Biological Sciences from the University of Messina, followed by fellowships in Molecular Pharmacology at the Mario Negri Institute in Milano and in Developmental and Molecular Biology at the Institute of the Council of National Research (CNR) in Palermo, Italy. He was a postdoctoral fellow and junior faculty member at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia studying the transcriptional regulation of collagen genes. He then joined the Coriell Institute for Medical Research as an Associate Professor at UMDNJ, to develop a research program utilizing mesenchymal stem cells isolated from neonatal cord blood. Afterwards Dr. Saitta relocated to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, as a Research Adj. Associate Professor of Pediatrics at UCLA, and there he developed a novel in vitro model of chondrogenesis using human induced pluripotent stem cells generated from reprogrammed cells of patients with skeletal dysplasia. Dr. Saitta joined the University of Southern California in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and the Broad CIRM Center as a Research Scientist studying the maintenance of the articular cartilage phenotype using human embryonic stem cells. He began collaborative efforts with the USC/UKRO Kidney Research Center and joined the group as Associate Professor of Research Medicine in November, 2017.
