Building Vascular Networks, Vascular Tumors, Endothelial Plasticity in Heart Valves
Expert's expertise is centered on angiogenesis and endothelial cells – the cells that comprise the endothelium of blood vessels and the heart, and how these cells become disrupted in disease. Her laboratory is also investigating how to use normal healthy…
Acute Wound Healing, Animal Models, Re-epithelization, Wound Infection, Burn Wound Healing, Bacteria
Expert and her mentor, David Taplin were the first to identify flower water as a potential source of hospital acquired bacterial infections. She also worked on and helped develop a medium that has a color indicator to detect dermatophytes. She…
Biomedical Sciences, Vascular Biology, Angiogenesis
Expert completed his PhD at St George's Hospital Medical School, on the microvascular parameters affecting post mastectomy lymphoedema in patients. After a year learning molecular biology at Glasgow University in Drosophila genetics, he spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher…

Through an 18 year career at California Biotechnology, Scios Inc., and Johnson & Johnson, Expert has gained extensive experience in the molecular biology of recombinant protein production especially in microbial systems such as E. coli (inclusion body and soluble), Pichia…
Molecular Pathology and Novel Solutions to Thrombosis, Cancer, Sepsis, Immunopathology.
Expert has pioneered the identification of the proteins of the Coagulation cascade responsible for Thrombosis, Hemostasis, Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, Sepsis, Inflammation and the roles in neoplastic cell invasion and metastasis. He was the first to successfully identify and isolate Factor…
Personalized Medicine, Genomics, Proteomics, Bioinformatics, Oncology, Biotechnology, IBD
As the director of the Employer Genomics and Proteomics Center and of the Dana Farber/ Harvard Cancer Center Proteomics Core, Expert has ample expertise in bioinformatics, since each of these facilities includes a whole core for bioinformatics. Expert supevises a…
Wound Healing, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology
Expert has been involved in studies of angiogenesis for many years. He demonstrated the important role of macrophages in mediating angiogenesis in wound healing and inflammation. His studies of the angiogenic factors produced by macrophages has led to a deeper…
Blood Free Radicals, Thrombosis
As a hematologist, Expert has a vested interest and experiential expertise in the underlying causes of pathological blood clotting. He especially focuses on blood elements such as platelets and white blood cells, and vascular endothelial cells. For several years, Expert…
