AMBITION IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS
RESEARCH
ABOUT ME
I am interested in the molecular mechanisms of signal transduction, particularly in the role of proteostasis (protein homeostasis) in cardiovascular diseases.
This research includes investigating the side effects of commonly used drugs on the cardiovascular system. For example, ibuprofen, one of the most commonly used drugs, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.

A better future depends on science
Science does not shout. It does not demand awe. It simply removes the causes of suffering one by one; smallpox, polio, scurvy, the childbed fever that took mothers by the thousands, and then steps aside so quietly that the world forgets. The true power of science is not what it builds, but what it erases: the graves we no longer dig, and the grief we no longer have to name.
