Nicole C Dubois, PhD
- ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR | Cell, Developmental & Regenerative Biology
Research Topics:
Cardiovascular, Cellular Differentiation, Developmental Biology, Molecular Biology, Regeneration, Stem Cells
In the Dubois lab we are interested in understanding human heart development and disease. We are using the human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) model to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cell fate specification and disease in the early human heart.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
Dr. Dubois did not report having any of the following types of financial relationships with industry during 2021 and/or 2022: consulting, scientific advisory board, industry-sponsored lectures, service on Board of Directors, participation on industry-sponsored committees, equity ownership valued at greater than 5% of a publicly traded company or any value in a privately held company. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.
Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
