Angom Ramcharan S. Angom

Angom Ramcharan S. Angom, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. His research focuses on vascular biology, particularly the role of VEGF receptors (VEGFR-1) and neuropilin (NRP-1) signaling in heart regeneration, aging, and stroke.

• Uses genetically engineered zebrafish and mouse models to study vascular remodeling
• Investigates molecular mechanisms in brain endothelial cell senescence
• Examines VEGF-B/NRP-1/VEGFR-1 axis in myocardial infarction and cardiac hypertrophy
• Develops tumor-targeted therapies for glioblastoma resistance

Research Impact: Addresses clinical challenges in heart failure, vascular dementia, and glioblastoma treatment resistance through mechanistic studies and therapeutic development.
