معرفی
Muhammad Imran Khan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesia at McMaster University. His research spans cardiovascular disease, neuroscience, metabolic disorders, and regenerative medicine, with a focus on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, atherosclerosis, spinal cord injury, and diabetes-related complications.
- Institution: McMaster University
- Academic Role: Assistant Professor, Department of Anesthesia
Research Interests: Khan investigates mechanisms linking metabolic stress (e.g., hyperglycemia, glucosamine) to accelerated atherosclerosis, using mouse models to study lipid metabolism and inflammatory pathways. His work also explores neural regeneration, particularly spinal cord repair through enteric glia transplantation, and circadian rhythms in cardiovascular disease onset.
Publication Trends: Over 15 recent articles (2005-2018), Khan's research emphasizes ER stress in atherosclerosis, neuroregenerative strategies for spinal injury, and metabolic modulation of cardiovascular outcomes. Key methodologies include animal models, pharmacological interventions, and molecular pathway analysis.
Collaborations: Notable co-authors include Geoff Werstuck, Michel Piers Rathbone, and Eva Susanne Werstiuk, reflecting interdisciplinary work across cardiovascular research, neuroscience, and metabolic disease.
