Personal profile
Research
As a Professor of Experimental Atherosclerosis, I lead a team in the Atherosclerosis Research Unit investigating the cellular mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis and related vascular diseases. Our goal is to find new targets for atherosclerosis therapy, leading to better prevention of heart attack and stroke.
Cooperation and dissemination
We collaborate with the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) in Madrid and the University of Cambridge to study smooth muscle cell function in atherosclerosis. These collaborations are supported by grants from the European Research Council and the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
Teaching
I teach cardiovascular disease processes in the course Molecular Cell Physiology 2 for students of Molecular Medicine. My goal with the teaching is that students should not only understand the key molecular and cellular mechanisms but also grasp the research process behind their discovery.
