• Institution: University of Oxford
• Department: Cardiovascular Research
• Academic Rank: Professor

Her work investigates molecular mechanisms in atherosclerosis, including roles of interferon regulatory factors, matrix metalloproteinases, and immunotherapy. Recent publications highlight advancements in spatial transcriptomics and aging-related cardiovascular interventions.

Collaborative studies explore TGF-β2 activation in diabetic atherosclerosis and inflammatory regulation by B regulatory cells. Her lab employs proteomic profiling to identify disease-specific biomarkers in smooth muscle cells.
