Research Programs

Focused on defining the structure-function relationships of GPIHBP1 and LPL. GPIHBP1.

Our goal is to understand the role of Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) and their inhibitors in cardiovascular development and disease, and the various mechanisms by which they exert their effects.

Studying causes of calcific disease and mineralization disorders in vasculature.

Investigates molecular mechanisms driving tissue repair and regeneration especially in the heart.

Conducting advanced heart failure research for a more personalized approach to medicine.

Focuses on two topics: the molecular physiology of the nuclear lamina and mechanisms of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein metabolism.

Our mission is to train the next generation of engineers, scientists and clinicians to interface quantitative sciences with biomedical and clinical research to improve human health.

Focused on common, complex forms of cardiovascular/metabolic disorders, including atherosclerosis, fatty liver disease and, more recently, heart failure.

Studying the peripheral neural circuits controlling cardiac function.

Studying cellular and tissue adaptation to lipid changes in health and disease.

Investigate the mechanisms by which the fatty acid products of TRL processing move across capillary endothelial cells and into vital tissues (e.g., heart, adipose tissue).
