My research program lies at the intersection of vascular biology, endocrinology and neuroscience. My laboratory, my training and expertise are focused on understanding the regulation of vascular function and structure in diabetes and hypertension in order to develop innovative strategies and therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of associated complications including ischemic stroke and cognitive impairment. These comorbidities not only increase the risk but also worsen the recovery and/or progression of cognitive impairment and stroke. All neuroprotective approaches have failed to produce any new therapies for these diseases. As a vascular biologist, I concentrated my efforts on the role of vasculoprotection and vascular restoration on brain repair. I use my uniquely combined expertise in endocrinology, physiology, pharmacology and vascular biology to identify novel treatments for stroke and cognitive impairment in both sexes.
