Research description
-
Identifying and mechanistically validating existing drugs and vaccines that can be repurposed to modulate cardiovascular risk pathways and improve outcomes in randomized clinical trials, thereby accelerating translation into clinical practice.
-
Investigating how persistent, subclinical inflammation drives vascular dysfunction and plaque instability to define actionable inflammatory targets for cardiovascular prevention.
-
Using the hibernating brown bear as a model of extreme metabolic plasticity to uncover protective mechanisms that may inform novel strategies against human cardiometabolic disease.
