Research interest:

PKC has been identified as one of the important factors that protect the heart against ischemic injury. The ability to alter specifically the expression or activity of PKC, as well as proteins that interact with PKC, in intact animals provides a powerful experimental approach to study pathophysiology. These animal models can be generated by transgenic technology. Recent works in this lab involve the exploration of the consequences of single and multiple gene mutations on complex physiological systems in vivo. Our research interest is to define the cardiac protective proteome by characterization of the cardiovascular phenotypes in genetically manipulated mice.
