I am a vascular biologist passionate about 1) studying the pathobiology of blood vessels and 2) stem cell-based therapeutic approaches for tissue vascualrization.

I am a vascular biologist, passionate about studying the pathobiology and pathophysiology of blood vessels, and using stem cells for tissue vascularization. I received my M.Sc degree in Molecular Medicine from University of East Anglia, United Kingdom, in 2012; and completed my PhD in Medical Science at University of South Australia (UniSA) in 2017. Then, I was appointed as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at UniSA for more than two years where I continued my PhD studies about bone marrow microvascular damage and recovery following methotrexate chemotherapy.

I am now a National Heart Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University of Adelaide (based at South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI)), contributing with different projects including:

1.  The role of adventitial stem cells in stable and unstable atherosclerosis.

2.  Identification and characterization of haemangioblasts in adult human vasculature.

3. Defining the role of skin haemangioblasts in wound healing.

4.  Adipose tissue-derived bio scaffolds for wound healing.
