PhD in Biology with Specialization in Biochemistry
Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada
Areas of Research
- Vascular smooth muscle biology
Research activities focus on signal transduction mechanisms (i.e., zipper-interacting protein kinase & myosin phosphatase & smoothelin-like 1 protein) linked to the control of vascular smooth muscle contractility in health and disease. See- Microcirculation (2014) 21(3),249-58; J Biol Chem, (2012) 287(43),36356-69; J Biol Chem (2011) 286(42),36978-91 - Chronic inflammation
Research activities explore the structure and function of the NOD-like receptor proteins in sterile inflammation See: Nature Immunol (2016) 17(10),1176-86; Nature Med (2012) 18(4), 600-4; Gastroenterology (2010) 139(2),542-52 - Chemoproteomic drug discovery
Collaborative research employs mass spectrometry and proteomic strategies to identify therapeutic small molecules for the treatment of vascular disorders. See: Sci Reports (2016) 6,32118; Mol Pharmacol (2016) 89(1),105-17; ACS Chem Biol (2013) 8(12),2715-23
