    Researching signaling pathways that mediate responses to endothelin receptor stimulation in arteries and veins. Techniques used in this independent project include isometric contractility recording of isolated vessels, immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, tissue explant cell culture, FURA2-AM ratiometric calcium photometry, Western blotting, and immunoprecipitation. Tentative thesis completion date of Spring, 2011.
