Mechanisms of Reduced Exercise Capacity: Insights from Novel MRI Methods Reduced exercise capacity (reduced VO2max, oxygen consumption) is a hallmark feature of heart failure, affecting quality of life and reflecting disease severity and outcomes.  Survivors of breast cancer therapy are at increased … Read More

Regulation of Vascular Function by Cardiac Mesenchymal Cells My research group focuses on cell-cell interactions in the developing coronaryvasculature to enhance angiogenesis and reduce cardiac fibrosis after ischemic heartdamage. We investigate epicardium-derived progenitor cells during the epicardial-to-mesenchymal transition and their … Read More
