Research Area: Mechanisms of action responsible for cardiovascular birth defects

 

 

For a number of years our lab has been interested in cardiovascular birth defects. The chick embryo is used as our model. We have studied various pharmacologic agents. More recently we are investigating the effects certain growth factors (namely FGF-2) or the development of the chick cardiovascular system.

I have been involved in teaching in the first year Clinical Human Anatomy course for 28 years. For the last 20 years I have been the Course Director. In addition to my teaching and research interests I maintain an active family practice clinic on the campus of the Medical College of Wisconsin.
