Vascular biology, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular remodeling

The major research activity of this group addresses the study of the vascular biology as well as the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in coronary artery disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and cardiac remodeling. The group analyzes the role of the NR4A subfamily of nuclear receptors, in particular NOR-1 (NR4A3), in those pathologies by using multidisciplinary and highly translational approaches.
