STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
Our goal is to generate novel genetic insights in the regulation of vascular development and arterial-venous vessel identity that can translate into therapeutic strategies. Our research projects aim at understanding the molecular regulation of angiogenesis and arteriogenesis.

We focus on four crucial aspects:
1) Formation of angiogenic sprouts and guidance of vessel sprouts by endothelial tip cells (Nature 2004, Development 2011; Circulation Research, 2012)
2) Imprinting of arterial-venous venous vessel identity by neural guidance genes and hemodynamic factors (Development 2004; Development 2012).
3) Formation, recruitment and growth of (native) arterial collateral networks in ischemic cardiovascular diseases (Circulation Research 2011; Development 2013)
4) Identification of evolutionary conserved principles of vascular and neuronal differentiation and patterning

For this purpose we characterize the mechanisms of vascular and neuronal development in experimental models including (transgenic) zebrafish, chick and mouse embryo. In addition, the concepts emerging from understanding the basic molecular principles governing vascular growth are translated into relevant pathologic settings including cerebral and cardiac ischemia models, and cancer. We specifically address arterial collateral development upon arterial occlusion and prevention-recovery from target organ damage (heart infarct, stroke).
