My research work focuses on studying SMC specific translatome using transgenic mice with atherosclerosis and EGFP tagging at the larger ribosomal subunit driven by aSMA promoter. Finally, validating these genes using immunohistology and spatial transcriptomics. The resulting SMC specific translatome will help in identifying the novel genes that are enriched in SMCs at atherosclerosis disease.
