  • Sep 2007 - Jan 2013

  I investigated the contractility of the smooth muscle cells for cardiovascular diseases at Interdepartmental Molecular, Cell Biology and Biochemistry Program at one of the top universities in the world. I had worked under the guidance of Kathleen G. Morgan, who was Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School & Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, and former CEO of Boston Biomedical Research Institute (BBRI) and chair of the health Science department at Boston University. Kathleen G. Morgan has been also leading researcher in the world for smooth muscle cells and cardiovascular diseases. My PhD thesis under her guidance entitled as “Phosphorylation dependent regulation of CaMKII gamma activity and its implication in vascular smooth muscle function”. Show less
