Research Interests

I have a PhD in immunology and ischemia reperfusion injury of different cells and tissues of the body. I am interested in studying the best way to administer fluids during surgery and the effective way to manage blood loss and coagulation abnormalities. More recently, I am interested in studying arginine and methionine metabolism in different clinical conditions. My goal is to describe the pattern of arginine and methionine metabolites in chronic and acute inflammation. I see an opportunity to understand better the mechanism of severe vasoplegia after cardiac surgery.
