The research he is undertaking focuses on mechanisms of cardiac fibrosis. What makes this process occur and what can possibly be done to preven it.

Grant Project Summary
NADPH oxidases are enzymes that create reactive oxygen species, and also are used by the body to fight bacteria and also to send signals stimulating the muscle cells that line blood vessels. NADPH oxidases also play roles in the hearts scarring after a heart attack. This project looks at NADPH oxidases role in promoting scarring in a mouse model of heart disease. Grant amount: $273,118

Recovery Act Funding at Emory University

At least 50 research projects so far, supported by more than $10 million in stimulus grants from the National Institutes of Health, are expected to lead to new discoveries at Emory University that will improve medical treatment, create new jobs, and provide additional educational opportunities for students. Emory has received half of all the NIH ARRA grants awarded to Georgia academic institutions thus far.
