High resolution imaging to study blood vessel development and disease
Overview: A major function of the cells that make up our blood vessels is to form a barrier between the blood and surrounding tissues. When this barrier fails, this can lead to leakage of blood, which in the brain can cause (haemorrhagic) stroke. Blood vessel cells set up this barrier by connecting to one another via adhesion proteins. These proteins function like a glue to keeps vessels structurally solid. Adhesion strength is different across distinct vessel types, depending on blood pressure and the type of organ a vessel is in. My lab utilises innovative in vivo and in vitro models to unravel novel genetic pathways that control adhesion in specific vessel types. High resolution imaging is essential for our research, allowing us to examine cellular phenotypes that drive vessel malfunction.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A session via Zoom. Please feel free to bring along your questions during the webinar.
