I investigate how growth factors regulating lymphatic development influence the progression of cardiometabolic diseases, with a particular focus on metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and liver recovery capacity. In addition to my research work, I coordinate the Cardiovascular Diseases Research Community (CVD RC).
