Research Interest
The leading cause of death worldwide is cardiovascular disease. We focus on the role of immune cells (macrophages and dendritic cells) in cardiac injury and tissue regeneration. Using a variety of cardiac injury models (ischemia, hemodynamic strain & viral infection), we explore how individual immune subsets control the balance between protective and pathological healing, both in mice and in patients with cardiovascular disease.
