I am interested in cardiovascular physiology, with a special focus on the function of the small arteries, which determine the peripheral hydrodynamic resistance and consequente blood pressure and blood flow distribution. I base my work on experimental research based on animal experimentation and experiments with arteries dissected from human biopsies. I am interested in cardiovascular changes in hypertension, obesity and diabetes with a particular interest in understanding how transport of ions across cell membranes is affected in these conditions.
