Ganesh

Dr. Ganesh leads a research laboratory focused on the genetics of vascular diseases, specifically arterial dysplasia, which includes conditions like fibromuscular dysplasia, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and visceral artery aneurysms. Her team investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying these disorders, including fibrosis, vascular biology, and gene expression in arterial walls.

• Key Research Areas:
  • Monogenic and polygenic inheritance patterns in vascular diseases
  • Gene discovery using genome sequencing and statistical genetics
  • Mechanistic studies of arterial dysplasia
  • Translational potential of genetic findings
• Disease Manifestations Studied:
  • Resistant hypertension
  • Stroke
  • Heart attack
  • Organ and limb malperfusion
  • Sudden death
