University of Missouri – Columbia (MU)
For the last 25 years, my research has focused on delineating molecular pathology of inflammatory responses in cardiovascular, renal and hepatic diseases, including focus on Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS). I have had a long standing interest in aging, liver injury. Cardiovascular and kidney injury have been a part of several studies in this area. My expertise with flow cytometry, AFM, immunohistochemical techniques, protein phosphorylation studies in vitro and in vivo, signaling pathways, regulation of gene expression and molecular biology. I was collaborating with Dr. James Sowers for last 12 years and am collaborating with Dr. Whaley-Connell, Dr. Ravi Nistala and Dr. Brian Bostick, Dr. Lastra and Dr. Manrique for past 11 years and Dr. Shivendra Shukla on liver injury for 18 years in research area related to cellular, immune and molecular mechanisms of cardiorenal injury and liver injury in obesity and insulin diabetes and alcoholism.
