Research Interests
The interplay between mechanical forces or cues and biological responses in blood vessels is essential for maintaining healthy structure and function yet also can serve as a potent driver behind poor clinical outcomes for a wide range of vessel pathologies and interventions. The research in my lab is aimed at integrating biomechanics and mechanobiology using experimental and in vivo models to develop new therapies or devices related to aortopathies, aortic aneurysms, atherosclerosis, and endovascular interventions.
