Interests
My research involves using multidisciplinary approaches to discover and develop drugs that affect vascular health. For example, I am currently developing inhibitors of chloride intracellular channel proteins as a target for cardiovascular diseases and cancer. In addition, I plan to establish vasculature-on-chip models to validate such inhibitors' use and study the interaction of environmental toxicants on vascular health.Publications
