The Endothelial Cell Biology in Health and Chronic Disease Research Group

Principal Investigator: Dr Leonid Nikitenko

The Endothelial Cell Biology in Health and Chronic Disease Research Group is dedicated to understanding the contribution of endothelial cells to pathophysiology of chronic diseases. Our basic and clinical laboratory research is focused on characterising properties and molecular mechanisms regulating endothelial cell function in cancer, cardiovascular diseases, lymphoedema and chronic lung disease.
