About
Dr. Wary is a cardiovascular and regenerative biologist, with research studies on small molecules-mediated re-vascularization, vascular regeneration and angiogenesis. His multidisciplinary research is funded by American Heart Association (AHA) and National Institutes of Health (NIH). In collaboration with Drs. Malik and Rehman, he published on the regulation of endothelial differentiation from human and mouse stem and iPS cells. Dr. Wary has tuned his lab to produce high-quality iPS cells and test their efficacy in genetically engineered mouse models. He has also integrated his long-standing expertise in integrin signaling into ongoing projects studying vascular differentiation. Dr. Wary has served as a member of study sections including the NIH, AHA, NYSTEM Cell, Lupus, NASA, Fulbright and NSF. He chaired and co-chaired stem cell mini-symposia, and moderated poster and abstract sessions at EB and AHA meetings. Dr. Wary co-organized the Vasculata 2017 at UIC, sponsored by NHLBI/NIH grant (1R13 HL137360) and NAVBO . Vasculata 2017 was widely recognized as one of the most successful; the attendance was among the best achieved.
