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.
