WELCOME !

Our research program is generally focused in three different areas which include:

1) nitric oxide metabolism, production, and elimination in the lungs, 2) wound healing and tissue remodeling in the lungs, and 3) pre-vascularization of implantable thick tissues.

We utilize both experimental and theoretical techniques. Much of the experimental work in exhaled nitric oxide is carried out the General Clinical Research Center here at UCI which offers full nursing support as well as other services including exercise-testing and statistical support. The wound-healing and tissue engineering projects are supported by a fully-equipped biology lab capable of modern gene and protein expression analysis as well as cell and tissue culture. An additional key collaboration is with the Beckman Laser Institute (via Dr. Bruce Tromberg) and their world-class optical imaging faciltities including multi-photon microscopy. We invite you to explore the lab in more details including specific research projects and the quality individuals that make up the lab.
