Short presentation

My research focuses on cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. Specifically, how blood flow forces, sensed by endothelial cells, shape cardiovascular development and function. Using zebrafish as a model organism, my work integrates genetic tools, high-resolution live imaging, single-cell omics, and technology optimization. Overall, I aim to unravel key processes essential for cardiovascular function and develop tools with broad research and therapeutic applications.

Research

My laboratory aims to understand how blood flow forces shape the development and function of the cardiovascular system. We generate genetic tools to control cardiac contractions and modulate the function of mechanosensor proteins in cardiovascular subpopulations.
