Research Interest

The liver is able to regenerate itself after many forms of injury. Derangement of this regenerative response in chronic injury may lead to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. I am examining the signaling pathways that modulate the hepatic regenerative response to partial hepatectomy in rodents and in animal models of liver disease. We have characterized an important role for prostaglandins in liver diseases.
