Summary:
We study arteriogenesis, the radial growth of arteries, which plays a central role in the pathogenesis and treatment of cancer and cardiovascular disease. We use advanced mouse genetics, imaging, cellular, and molecular approaches to identify arteriogenic stimulators in development and disease. Our aim is to uncover novel drug targets and therapeutic interventions to improve human health.
