My research program is focused on the biology and biochemistry of the Stabilin receptors and how they affect human physiology and disease. Due to their expression in liver and other tissues of the body, their contribution to extracellular matrix management and the catabolism of certain therapeutic drugs is significant in terms of metabolic half-life.
