Research

  • The primary focus of my research group is the study of endothelial cells that
    line the inside of all blood vessels. These cells have many functions, such
    as providing an anti-thrombotic surface to prevent blood clotting and
    controlling leukocyte recruitment to tissue during inflammation. Our research
    is based around the identification of genes that are highly specifically
    expressed in endothelial cells (compared to other cell types) and the role of
    these genes in vascular function. Through this work, we identify potential
    plasma biomarker candidates for the clinical assessment of vascular health
    and risk stratification, diagnosis and prognosis of diseases of the
    cardiovascular system, such as venous and arterial thrombosis and COVID-19
    complications.
