Vascular Biology and Metabolic Regulation in Cardiometabolic Diseases

I am a principal investigator with extensive expertise in vascular biology and endothelial signaling, with a strong focus on the role of metabolic regulation and lipid-mediated pathways in cardiometabolic and pulmonary vascular diseases. My research addresses fundamental mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction, vascular remodeling, inflammation–metabolism interactions, and endothelial cell plasticity.

My work integrates mechanistic studies with translational approaches, using disease-relevant human endothelial cell models and established preclinical models to investigate signaling pathways, lipid-derived bioactive mediators, and metabolic regulators of vascular function. I contribute to hypothesis-driven experimental design, mechanistic validation, and functional assessment of vascular phenotypes relevant to rare and complex cardiometabolic diseases.

I have strong experience in international collaborative research and EU-aligned consortia. I am interested in Horizon Europe Cluster 1 – Health projects addressing cardiometabolic and rare diseases, with an emphasis on translational strategies that bridge fundamental vascular biology with disease-modifying therapeutic approaches.
