Dr. Claudia Marcelo

Claudia Marcelo, DO is board-certified in Family Medicine and Geriatric Medicine. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago, and later graduated from NYIT’s New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. She then finished a Family Practice Residency and Geriatric Fellowship at Florida Hospital (now Advent Health) in Orlando. Personal health challenges while finishing medical school motivated her to seek an alternative model of health. She chose the path of functional medicine as a patient first before becoming a functional and regenerative physician years later.

Dr. Claudia received functional medicine training via the Institute for Functional Medicine, The American Academy of Anti-Aging, and The Kalish Institute. She has received stem cell training from the prestigious Institute of Regenerative Medicine in Spain (Medicina Regenerativa Madrid), and has been certified by Train Now MD in regenerative and cosmetic medicine. She has traveled for private mentorships across the world to receive extra training in various modalities: neural therapy, peptides, bio-identical hormones, ozone, PRP, photomodulation, PEMF, hyperbaric oxygen, nutrition, IV therapies, quantum healings, and much more. Her current foundational approach is based on European Biological Medicine that allows a deeper understanding of levels of imbalance that can predispose a patient to experience illness.

Personal Statement

My research interests involve the fields of immunology, cellular and molecular biology. My research experience provided me with a vast knowledge in multiple areas including molecular biology, cellular Immunology, stem cell technology and flow cytometry. After I finished my Bachelor’s degree I started to work on the molecular pathways implicated in the development of leukemia and lymphoma diseases. During that period, I acquired a strong background in the mechanisms leading to B and T cell rearrangements and basic methodologies in molecular biology. I started my Ph.D at the Cancer Research in London, United Kingdom where I studied the role of alternative splicing patterns of BCR/ABL trancripts in the generation of the blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukemia. I finished these studies at the University of Dusseldorf, Germany. For my postoctoral training I worked on the culture of human mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow or cord blood and their differenciation into cardiomyocytes. I continues my post doctoral training at the University of Miami where I had the opportunity to acquire a better understanding of the processes involved in generation of immune tolerance after transplantation. After I finished my post-doc, I focused my research on the immune monitoring of patients after transplant to understand the mechanisms of graft tolerance. I was also involved in the immunemonitoring of animal model to assess the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) on allogeneic transplant which included the expansion of MSC from Bone Marrow and Characterization of MSC by phenotypic analysis and functional assays. One of my major interest is in the field of regenerative medicine where stem cells have been successfully use in the treatment of multiples medical conditions.
