Neural control of low urinary tract and neuromodulation of bladder dysfunction
We investigate the mechanisms underlying kidney injury using rodent animal models and cell culture, with a current focus on 1) the KEAP1/NRF2 pathway and 2) the effects of renal nerves.
Molecular imaging of inflammation and extracellular matrix remodeling by noninvasive techniques, including PET and SPECT.
We study the molecular neurobiology and pharmacology of chronic pain and substance misuse.
Regulation of the immune response; role of dendritic cells and T cells in tolerance induction; mechanism of action of novel immune suppressants
Clinical applications of nitric oxide and carbon monoxide in the setting of vascular therapies
We study synaptic mechanisms and their role during normal and pathological sensory processing (tinnitus).
