Research Interests
Her research interests are in understanding molecular and vascular mechanisms associated with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, with a particular interest in the cardiovascular effects of anti-cancer drugs. She has a large expertise in vascular function, vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial pathways, nitric oxide and oxidative stress, using a multidisciplinary approach with both in vitro and in vivo models of vascular function in health and disease.
