Research Interests

Molecular mechanisms of cancer metastasis

  • Metastatic cancer cell interactions with microvascular endothelium.
  • Biochemistry of cancer cell recognition and adhesion.
  • Microvascular pathophysiology of hematogenous cancer metastasis.
  • Antimetastatic drug testing.

Sex-related aspects of intracranial microvasculature 

  • Intracranial microvascular networks plasticity and remodeling in physiological and disease-related settings.
  • Interactions between lymphatic/ glymphatic and blood microvessels within the cranium (focusing on vascular compartments of meninges, bone marrow, and the brain) relevant to health and disease, such as estrogen- and sleep-deprivation induced conditions.

Areas of Expertise

  • Meningeal microvascular remodeling
  • Fluorescence, confocal, ex vivo, and real time microscopy with video imaging and analysis
  • Computerized quantitative image analysis
  • Microdissection and microsurgery
  • Metastasis-associated carbohydrate-mediated endothelial activation
  • Molecular and biochemical processes supporting cancer/endothelial cells interaction, arrest, and retention
  • Biochemical, cell biology and immunological techniques
  • Cell culture
  • Flow chamber models
