Strong research background in molecular biology, fluorescence imaging, immunohistochemical analysis, protein-protein interaction, or transcriptional/posttranslational regulation/signal transduction, or ROS measurements using multiple experimental techniques including cell culture, RNA/protein analysis, enzyme activity measurements, immunoprecipitation, adenoviral/lentiviral transduction, mouse colony maintenance/breeding/tail cuts, plasmid transfection, and in vivo mice experiments (hindlimb ischemia, wound healing, retinal ischemia/reperfusion, diabetic retinopathy, atherosclerosis, Alzheimers disease, and cancer) using various gene targeting mice. Augusta Universitys distinct characteristics in education and research include real-world experiences and community engagement, as well as a culture of building community, corporate and government partnerships that address health, security, economic and societal concerns locally and across the state.
