Research project funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences to study the molecular basis of mechanotransduction and its role in human diseases including cardiovascular disease, using biochemical reconstitution and cell-based assays.
Description
This project aims to dissect the molecular interactions that regulate mechanotransduction in adult physiology and disease, using a novel experimental platform. The work will provide insights into how these pathways are disrupted in human diseases such as cardiovascular disease.
