Summary

  • I am a physician-scientist with a clinical interest in general and critical care cardiology and a research interest in redox-mediated mechanisms of vascular disease. My research program utilizes molecular and cellular approaches to understand the regulation and the function of NADPH oxidases in the blood vessel, and to identify approaches for vascular wall targeting of therapeutic molecules.
