Research Interests
The long-range goal of the Rizzo lab is to discover the molecular signaling mechanisms that contribute to endothelial dysfunction and associated cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and aneurysm formation. Past studies demonstrate the importance of caveolae organelles in regulating endothelial cell function. Our research program offers the opportunity to evaluate the physiologic and pathophysiologic roles of endothelial caveolae and caveolin in signaling and transport using modern techniques in microscopy, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular genetic and unique in vivo and in vitro methodological approaches to attenuate vascular disease initiation and/or progression.
