Ruth and Paul Levinger Professor of Cardiology
The focus of our research is to evaluate the mechanisms underlying vascular, cardiac, and skeletal muscle dysfunction seen in pulmonary vascular diseases. The laboratory uses a variety of in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo approaches utilizing the preclinical models of pulmonary hypertension and emphysema. In clinical research, we are attempting to characterize the role and impact of cardiac dysfunction in settings of lung diseases, and study the epidemiology of pulmonary hypertension.
