The goal of my research program is to investigate the mechanisms underlying vascular anomalies in children and adults. I have been working in the field of vascular biology and disease for over 30 years and have extensive expertise studying the molecular and cellular pathways underlying human diseases. More recently my work has focused on the role of vascular growth factors and gene mutations in human endothelial cells and how they contribute to the pathogenesis of vascular anomalies. The strength of our research is the use of human cells and samples to determine signaling pathways, identify disease biomarkers and test potential novel targeted therapies. I collaborate with physicians and other scientists both at Cincinnati Children’s and other major medical centers who are world-experts in the investigation and treatment of vascular anomalies.
