My lab studies how mechanical forces from blood flow and blood pressure shape the development, function and diseases of the vascular system. We use methods that go from single molecule biophysics to analysis of pathways in cultured cells to mouse disease and remodeling models to elucidate molecular and cellular mechanisms and identify new therapeutic targets.
