Research interests
We have 3 main types of research endeavour;
1. Basic Science - the cell and molecular biology of atherosclerosis, especially endothelial adhesiveness and foam cell macrophage biology
2. Clinical research - mainly on non-invasive methods to assess arterial structure and function to detect early signs of vascular disease (especially endothelial dysfunction)
3. Public Health research in developing nations - we collaborate on projects dealing with atherosclerosis in China and India; Rheumatic Heart Disease in Africa and Asia; and malaria-related vascular dysfunction in Indonesia.
