I am a molecular biologist determining the mechanisms of eukaryotic mRNA translation and its regulation by RNA-binding proteins and noncoding RNA. In collaborative work I extend these basic science objectives into the medical research areas of cardiology
I am a cell-molecular biologist studying the role and regulation of the plasminogen activating (fibrinolytic) system in health and disease. My recent studies have defined a novel role for tissue-type plasminogen activator in the central nervous system and
