Peter's bioengineering research is directed at the fundamental mechanisms underlying cardiovascular diseases, in particular, the cellular, subcellular, and molecular pathophysiology of endothelial cells and the role that hemodynamics plays in the epigenetic regulation of molecular mechanotransduction, gene and protein expression an functional consequences in health and disease. Peter and his lab use computational models, experimental in vivo and in vitro flow devices and a full range of cell and molecular biology approaches.
