Research InterestsVascular Biology, Signal Transduction and Cell Signaling, Bio-imaging
Research Description
Investigates signaling mechanisms regulating paracellular and transcellular permeability of the endothelium to macromolecules and therapeuticagents. Confocal microscopy, physiological, molecular, cellular, and biochemical approaches are used to study trafficking of caveolae,organization and remodeling of the cytoskeleton and cell-celljunctions, protein and fluid permeability, and signaling modules thatregulate endothelial cell function. Current projects focus on 1) the signaling molecules that regulate caveolae-mediated endocytosis and transcytosis, 2) delivery of therapeutic agents across the vascular barrier, and 3) the role of caveolae in inflammation-induced increasein permeability.

Ph.D., University of MadrasAssociate Professor of Pharmacologytiruc@uic.edu 312-355-0249
Research InterestsVascular Biology, Cell and Membrane Biology,
Research Description
Our primary research interest is to study the molecular mechanism that regulates vascular inflammation. Pro- inflammatory mediator thrombininduces vascular inflammation by cleaving the endothelial cell surface protease activated receptor-1 (PAR-1). PAR-1 activation causes vascular leakage and neutrophil adhesion-mediated vascular injury. Ca2+signaling plays an important role in the mechanism of thrombin-induced vascular injury. Currently, we are investigating how thrombin increases intracellular Ca2+ by opening plasma membrane transient receptor potential channels expressed in endothelial cells. In addition, we are also investigating the role of Ca2+ signaling in the mechanism of nuclear factor ?B (NF-?B) activation- dependent expression of inflammatory genes in endothelial cells.
