Current research focus

Molecular mechanisms during development of myocardial hypertrophy and heart failure

Research projects

Project manager

• Identification of novel secreted factor by expression profiling of hearts from mice with myocardial failure

Collaborator

• Pathophysiological role of inflammatory cytokines in heart failure
• Chromogranin A, granins and heart disease
• The homeostatic chemokine CXCL13 and its receptor CXCR5 are regulated in experimental and human heart failure, and are involved in cardiac remodelling.
• Role of inflammatory mediators in right ventricular pressure overload
• Pathogenic role of the regulatory chemokines CCL19 and CCL21 during pressure overload
