Our lab is committed to identifying mechanisms of myocardial and vascular inflammation centering on leukocyte recruitment and platelet activation. We are interested in understanding immune response to myocardial damage including ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, tachycardiomyopathy, and vascular thrombo-inflammation.
Basic research:
Role of Cyclophilins in cardiovascular diseases
Myocardial and vascular inflammation
Platelets and platelet-monocyte interaction
Regulation of Matrix-Metalloproteinases
Clinical research:
Association of inflammation and arrhythmias
Novel drug targets for inflammatory cardiomyopathy
