Research Interest

Research interests currently are in:  1) the role of chloride channels in the cell membrane of cardiac muscle cells in cell volume regulation and the pathophysiology of myocardaial ischemia/reperfusion with a focus on therapeutic potential of these channels; 2) preclinical evaluation of drug eluting coronary artery stents and catheter based radiofrequency renal sympathetic nerve ablation for hypertension treatment.
