| Description of Research: |
The overall goal of our laboratory is study how humoral and mechanical factors modulate vascular inflammatory responses as they pertain to the development of atherosclerosis, angiogenesis and hypertensive vascular disease. Active projects include:
1) The Role of Angiotensin II in the Pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
2) Mechanisms of Post-Natal vascular growth.
3) Endothelial Progenitor Cells and Vascular Disease.
4) Molecular and Biomechanical Mechanisms of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.
