Biography

Mentor: David Zhang, PhD
Year Entered MCW: 2015
Previous Education: BS and MS, Padmashree Dr. D.Y. Patil University, Mumbai, India

Research Interests

Dr. Zhang’s laboratory is interested in uncovering the role of endothelial and vascular smooth muscle ion channels in regulation of human arteriolar diameter and whether their function is altered in coronary artery disease. My research is focused on understanding if vascular TRPV1 and TRPV2 ion channels regulate the tone of human arterioles and if their function is modulated by the physiological vasoconstrictor endothelin-1.
