Research interests
Professor Jennifer Gamble is an internationally recognized research leader in the field of endothelial cell function.
She has headed a highly successful research team for over 20 years, investigating endothelial cell function. Her initial publication in this area established the endothelium as a dynamic “organ” central to the control of inflammatory processes. Her work since then has focused on understanding the biological and more recently the molecular events and the signaling pathways that control the endothelium.
