Dr. Webb’s research focuses on vascular signaling mechanisms in hypertension and sexual dysfunction.
Dr. McCarthy Vascular and Integrative Physiology (VIP) Lab studies vascular physiology and cardiovascular disease pathophysiology. Specific research interests at present include autophagy, energy sensing, and ketogenic interventions.
Dr. Uline focus is Molecular modeling of lipid-protein interactions.
Dr. Wenceslau lab is to understand vascular physiology in cardiovascular diseases. Study the mechanisms associated with the vascular-immune network in hypertension, metabolic syndrome and sepsis.
Dr. Pinto research focuses on the promotion of healthy lifestyles, particularly, regular physical activity for the prevention and management of chronic diseases in middle-aged and older adults.
Dr. DiPette long-term research and clinical interest involve understanding the pathophysiology and novel treatment modalities of hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
Dr. Lessner works in the area of vascular biomechanics, with a focus on how vascular remodeling alters the mechanical function of arteries in the context of atherosclerosis, aortic aneurysm, and ageing.
Dr. Sarzynski’s FLEX lab employs a multi-omics approach to identify molecular biomarkers associated with the response of cardiometabolic traits to lifestyle and exercise interventions.
Dr. Azhar focuses on the role of Transforming Growth Factor Beta Ligands in Cardiovascular Development and Cardiovascular Disease.
Dr. Bob Price is Director of the Instrumentation Resource Facility which is a core biotechnology facility available for use by all in the CTRC.
Dr. Cindy Corbett’s research focuses on health system and self-management interventions to improve health outcomes for adults with chronic conditions.
Dr. Spinale is an internationally renowned cardiovascular scientist, who has directed a translational research effort in the thematic area of cardiovascular remodeling with a particular focus upon heart failure, the main cause of death and disability in South Carolina, for over the past two decades.
Dr. Priviero lab focuses on the role of the innate immune system in the development of vascular damage, erectile dysfunction, and bladder complications in models of obesity, type-2 diabetes, or hypertension, and how physical exercise or food supplements could modulate the innate immune system to prevent or treat vascular and erectile dysfunction.
Dr. Potts lab uses developmental biology principles in regenerative medicine approaches to study cardiac development and disease.
Dr. Tan lab focuses on the pathogenesis of congenital vascular malformations and COVID-19-related vasculopathy.
Dr. Matesic lab utilizes genetically engineered mouse models to study the effects of how altered regulation of protein homeostasis in the heart can promote developmental defects, lethal arrhythmias, and impaired cardiac relaxation (which contributes to a form of heart failure commonly seen in the aging population).
Dr. Carver’s research focuses on the mechanisms underlying cardiac fibroblast activation and fibrosis in cardiovascular disease and how insight into these may lead to novel therapeutic approaches.
