Lipidomic pathways generate eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)-derived lipid-mediators that regulate inflammation, angiogenesis, and choroid neovascularization.

Degrees

1996: PhD - The University of Georgia

1996-2001: Postdoctoral training - Cornell University, New York

Clinical Interests

Current Research:

We use lipidomic approaches to define pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators in laser-induced choroidal neovascularization and molecular and cellular mechanisms to elucidate the bioactivity of lipid mediators. We also study lipidomes in angiogenesis.

Research Interests

Keywords:
lipidomic pathways, DHA, EPA, angiogenesis, inflammation, choroid neovascularization, neurological and retinal diseases, links to genomes and proteomes

Research Interests and Goals:

Lipidomic pathways that regulate inflammation, angiogenesis, and choroid neovascularization. Lipid biochemistry and biology related to human health and diseases including retinal degeneration.

Research Project: Lipidomic approach to define pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators in laser-induce choroidal neovascularization molecular and cellular mechanisms for the bioactions of lipid mediators.
