Hypoxia signalling

My laboratory works on understanding the mechanisms by which cells sense and signal hypoxia. Oxygen is of fundamental importance for most living organisms, and the maintenance of oxygen homeostasis is a central physiological challenge for all large animals. Hypoxia is an important component of many human diseases including cancer, heart disease, stroke, vascular disease, and anaemia.
