I had a great experience working with Dr. Larry Agbor when I was at University of Iowa, Department of Pharmacology. Larry is a hard-worker and team-oriented scientist. He is always up for challenges and not afraid to take new directions. His studies focus on using molecular biology combined with physiology to understand the mechanism of cardiovascular disease. His wide range of skills in vivo and in vitro will definitely be beneficial for novel discovery.

Generated and characterized a novel transgenic mouse expressing the hypertension-causing mutant of CUL3 in smooth muscle. Established a methodology for genome editing using cell culture by generating CUL3 knockout and cell lines specifically lacking exon 9 of CUL3. Identified new CUL3 targets in the vasculature that is implicated in vascular dysfunction and hypertension in a mouse model of cardiovascular disease. Develop primary cell culture models including mouse embryonic fibroblast, aortic and mesenteric smooth muscle cells for mechanistic studies. Supervised graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, while improving lab communications Developed strong grant writing skills for extramural funding. Developed strong expertise in gene expression analysis, molecular biology, cellular pharmacology, blood vessel vasoreactivity studies, rodent surgical skills Published research findings in high impact journals. Part of a multidisciplinary laboratory that encompasses work ranging from bioinformatics, physiology, and pharmacogenomics. Show less

Characterized a novel molecular mechanism of a transcription factor, the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) in the regulation of resistance arterial function and blood pressure control using a genetically modified mouse model. Identified a novel role for vascular CYP1A1 in modulating the vasodilatory actions of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids using vascular function and signal transduction studies in a genetically modified mouse model. Developed strong expertise in blood vessel reactivity studies, molecular biology, cellular pharmacology, and rodent surgical skills. Published high quality peer-reviewed articles. Show less
