In the Zarkada lab we try to understand how endothelial cells grow and form functional vessel networks. We use a combination of complex genetic mouse models, single-cell transcriptomics, biochemical and molecular approaches, and state of the art imaging techniques. By discovering novel mechanisms driving endothelial cell behavior, we aim to develop new therapeutic opportunities to treat cardiovascular diseases.
