About

Dr. Komarova’s research focusses on the cross-talk between microtubule cytoskeleton and VE-cadherin-mediated adhesions in microvascular endothelial cells, critical for maintenance of basal endothelial barrier permeability. Using the knowledge of microtubule-mediated lung vascular permeability allowed her lab to develop novel therapeutic targets to treat inflammatory diseases. Dr. Komarova has support from the Vascular Interventions/Innovations and Therapeutic Advances (VITA) to identify promising drug candidates that have the highest potential in combating acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and to promote translational studies and clinical validation. This grant is entitled “Novel Drug-Based Therapy for Treatment of Vascular Leakage.
