Current Projects
- Developing localized drug delivery treatments to promote hemodialysis access function.
- Examining the role of adipokines and heme oxygenase-1 in hemodialysis fistula maturation.
- Examining the role of soluble epoxide hydrolase, an enzyme that metabolizes vasoactive epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, in neointimal hyperplasia and catheter thrombosis.
- Developing nerve guide conduits to deliver drugs to promote peripheral nerve regeneration.
- Investigating the use of autologous fat transplants to deliver glitazone drugs and adiponectin to inhibit breast cancer.
