Queen Mary University of London

Research

Endothelial Cells, Vascular Biology, Shear Stress, Cell Junctions, Cell Signalling, Vascular Inflammation

Interests

My lab focuses on investigating on signalling pathways modulated by shear stress that regulates vascular inflammation. We use an Ibidi 2D shear stress system and we are interested in expanding our focus on more complex 3D organ on chips.
