Research Interests

The Vascular Biology Laboratory is one of the leading laboratories in Australia investigating the biology of endothelial cells, cells which form the lining of our blood vessels. Abnormalities in endothelial cell function underlie inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, atherosclerosis, and contribute to the formation of solid tumours.

Blood vessels are normally maintained in a non-inflammatory, non-permeable, non-thrombotic, non-expansive state. Research in the Vascular Biology Laboratory is directed towards an understanding of how the vessel is maintained in such a state and the molecular and cellular changes that take place during endothelial cell activation which is characteristic of inflammation and of new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis).
