Current:

 
R01HL62228 Janicki (PI) 7/1/1999 - 4/30/2008

NIH/NHLBI

Cardiac Mast Cell: Role in Pathogenesis of Heart Failure

The major goal of this grant is to investigate the contribution of cardiac mast cells to the pathologic ventricular remodeling which precedes the development of heart failure.

Role: Co-Investigator

 
R01HL73990 Janicki (PI) 7/1/2004 - 5/31/2008

NIH/NHLBI

Sexual Hormones, Cardiac Mast Cells and Cardioprotection

The major goal of this grant is to investigate estrogen's modulation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha production and release from cardiac mast cells.

Role: Co-Investigator

R01HL59981 Janicki (PI) 1/1/1999 - 12/31/2003

NIH/NHLBI

Role of Myocardial Integrins in Ventricular Remodeling.

The major goal of this grant is to investigate the relationship between myocardial integrins and the extracellular matrix in the ventricular remodeling resulting in the transition to heart failure.

Role: Co-Investigator
