Pathology and Pathophysiology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab exploring the mechanisms of vascular diseases from the perspective of pathology.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the mechanisms of vascular disease through pathology.
The Pathology and Pathophysiology Lab investigates how vascular diseases arise, using tissue observation and molecular analysis.
Focusing on atherosclerosis, the lab studies the process of vascular remodeling, in which blood vessels are pathologically restructured.
In giant cell arteritis, an inflammatory disease of the blood vessels, the lab is working to clarify the significance of amyloid deposition.
The Assistant Professor also teaches pathology lectures and practical courses for the Department of Medicine and the Department of Life Sciences.
Key terms
- Remodeling
- The restructuring of the blood vessel structure during disease. The lab studies the mechanisms of pathological remodeling
- Giant cell arteritis
- A type of vasculitis, an inflammatory disease of the blood vessels
- Amyloid
- Protein that has accumulated in tissue in an abnormal form. The lab studies the significance of its deposition in giant cell arteritis
