Research
Focus
- My research focuses on the role of oxidative stress in cardiac dysfunction following myocardial infarction. Research in the laboratory currently focuses on transgenic mouse models, and through collaborations at Georgia Institute of Technology, the delivery of antioxidant proteins and signaling inhibitors for the preservation/restoration of cardiac function following myocardial infarction.
