Our research focuses on ion channels and signal transduction pathways in the vasculature. To investigate how ion channels and receptor proteins impact blood flow control, the Harraz lab employs different imaging techniques, electrophysiological approaches, and genetically-engineered mouse models.

Our investigations span the full spectrum from the single molecule level to the whole in vivo level. The major goal of our research is to understand vascular signaling, blood flow control and the changes associated with small vessel and neurodegenerative diseases as well as aging.
