The role of local renin-angiotensin system in developmendst of pulmonary hypertension. This problem is being addressed with rats that over express renin 2 (Ren-2) the enzyme that produces angiotensin. These Ren-2 animals produce excess angiotensin-2 in tissues, including the lung.

Tumor metastasis is the major cause of cancer deaths. Molecules regulating the process by which individual tumor cells detach from the primary site and invade extracellular matrix serve as potential therapeutic targets. I am interested in identification and characterization of invasive sub-populations within a tumor environment, that may contain specific molecular modifications allowing them to have a highly invasive phenotype. Elucidating these modifications may contribute significantly to the understanding of cancer, and the development of more efficient treatments.
