The brain possesses a highly specialized vasculature to meet its extremely active metabolic demand. Thi will be working to elucidate one of the various pathways that brain angiogenesis regulates during embryonic development. The ability to manipulate these pathways will become critical to mitigating and curing diseases like stroke and cancer.
