Expertise

I have been fouced on two GPCRs – The purinergic or nucleotide P2Y2 receptor and the chemokine receptor CXCR7.

Research:

  • P2Y2 Receptor Signaling and Vascular Inflammation
  • CXCR7 Signaling in Cardiometabolic Disease

Research:

  • G protein-coupled P2Y nucleotide and adenosine receptors in vascular biology, disease and pharmacology. Signaling mechanisms governing the adhesion and migration of the inflammatory, progenitor/stem cells into the vascular wall. Protein phosphatase in vascular cell signaling, diseases and therapeutics.
