Research Interests
In Dr. Brian Annex’s laboratory, I focus on analyzing the effects of vascular injury and increased permeability in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and related comorbidity, diabetes. I am studying the molecular mechanisms regulating vascular function and permeability in vitro and in vivo models. My current research focuses on the role of microRNA and long non-coding RNAs and their therapeutic benefits in the mechanisms of hypoxia-induced angiogenesis in PAD.
