Research Interests: I am interested in mechanisms of vascular injury. Specifically, I study the role of reactive oxygen species in regulating endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell function during shock. Currently my work focuses on how LRRC8 anion channels are involved in the response of endothelial cells to oxidative stress.
