I am a molecular biologist determining the function of extracellular matrix proteins critical for development, function and repair of important tissues such as arteries, lung, kidney, eye and bone.
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 biomechanical engineer researching the effects of mechanical loads on the human body, both at physiological and injurious loading levels. This research leads to both fundamental data on tissue properties and the physiological response, and also to
