Research Interests:
Daugherty’s research interests center around cardiovascular disease, in particular, processes in the development of lesions in atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), which is an abnormal ballooning of the major artery from the heart.
Hong Lu
l Research assistant professor, Internal Medicine Department, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY
l American Heart Association
l American Society of Investigative Pathology
Research Interests:
Area of research focuses on how the overactivation of the renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis and aneurysmal formation. Specific interest is to define the mechanisms by which the renin-angiotensin system contributes to these two vascular pathologies using specific pharmacological tools or genetic disruption approaches. Studies are performed using mouse models and cell culture system.
