Research Description:
My long–term interest is to understand the molecular mechanisms that mediate secondary brain damage and neurologic dysfunction after stroke. My particular interest is to evaluate the interactive role of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), transcription factors and epigenetic modifications in modulating the pathophysiologic events that promote secondary brain damage.
