| Research Interests |
| Regulation of macrophage gene expression. Molecular and biochemical approaches are used to elucidate the mechanisms of action of transcription factors that mediate the biological effects of retinoic acid, vitamin D and other hormone-like molecules during macrophage development and terminal differentiation. These approaches are also used to investigate mechanisms of transcriptional control of macrophage-specific genes implicated to be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and other diseases. |
