321 MacNider Hall 333 S Columbia St., Chapel Hill, NC, United StatesRESEARCH: My lab aims to determine the etiology and then the treatment for the left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy. 2. Another project will determine how epicardial development regulates cardiac morphogenesis and explore methods to treat congenital heart defects caused by abnormal epicardial development. 3. We are also screening chemicals that promote cardiomyocyte maturation during cell-reprogramming and … Read more

321 MacNider Hall 333 S Columbia St., Chapel Hill, NC, United StatesResearch Overview: MOLECULAR PROGRAMMING OF THE VASCULATURE IN DEVELOPMENT AND DISEASE Proper formation and function of the vasculature are crucial for health and survival, as the vasculature supplies all cells in the body. A dysfunctional vasculature causes myriad diseases, including stroke, arterial occlusive diseases, and vascular anomalies. Our long-term goal is to identify novel drug … Read more

1131 Bioinformatics Building 130 Mason Farm Rd., Chapel Hill, NC, United StatesResearch Interest: Our laboratory is specifically interested in the regulation of endothelial cell commitment, differentiation and cell cycle progression, and defining signaling pathways that modulate these processes. We also aim to understand how some endothelial cells acquire specialized functions, such as the generation and/or maintenance of multi-lineage stem/progenitor cells.
