Biography
My research mainly focused on dysregulation in innate and adaptive immunological networks and their function in modulating the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction (MI) and chronic heart failure (HF). I am especially interested in determining the function of T-cell subsets and the time-dependent phenotypic changes that these cells endure during chronic HF. In addition, I am also interested in identifying and devising novel strategies to reverse pathological changes in immune cells in preparation for their transition from the laboratory to the clinic. My training in physiology, immunology, and molecular biology equips him with unique perspectives to research heart failure and develop mechanism-based, clinically applicable immune-therapeutic strategies.
