Areas of Research
Vascular smooth muscle biology
Research activities focus on signal transduction mechanisms (i.e., zipper-interacting protein kinase & myosin phosphatase & smoothelin-like 1 protein) linked to the control of vascular smooth muscle contractility in health and disease. See- Scientific Reports (2019) 9(1):481; Microcirculation (2014) 21(3),249-58; Journal of Biological Chemistry, (2012) 287(43),36356-69; Journal of Biological Chemistry (2011) 286(42),36978-91
