Vascular health, injury, and recovery is a major factor in the pathogenesis of a number of diseases or injuries that require medical or surgical intervention. Scientists in the Department of Surgery specialized in vascular injury and wound healing are studying the molecular mechanisms of vascular adhesion under laminar flow, vascular protection, and angiogenesis. This involves bioengineering and vascular physiology.
