Research Interests
My research focus is the study of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis. More specifically, my laboratory is investigating molecular mechanisms regulating the process of new blood vessel differentiation and survival in response to angiogenic stimuli in oral cancers and in the dental pulp.
