Our research laboratory is interested in studying endogenous adaptive pathways that are under the control of hypoxia-inducible factors. We have applied these molecular concepts to a wide range of disease models that are important for the field of anesthesiology, critical care and perioperative medicine, including acute lung injury, myocardial or hepatic ischemia, acute kidney injury and intestinal inflammation. It is our hope that these studies contribute to novel pharmacologic approaches to prevent or treat acute organ injury in surgical patients.
