“Circadian origins of vascular disease in obesity”
Studies will determine how the disruption in circadian rhythm impairs the cardiovascular
function in obesity.
“Circadian Clock Control of Endothelial Identity in Atherosclerosis”
Our overarching hypothesis is that circadian rhythmicity is important to maintain
endothelial homeostasis via Sox17 expression and that perturbation of rhythms corrupts
endothelial function and encourages the development of atherosclerosis.
