Ellie holds a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellowship in Basic Biomedical Science. She was previously an Associate Professor at the Department of Cell and Molecular Physiology, McAllister Heart Institute, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA. Her research expertise centres on mechanotransduction in the cardiovascular system, principally the blood vessels. Her long term goal is to understand how shear stress-dependent inflammatory signalling can be modulated for preventive and therapeutic purposes.
We are delighted to announce that Dr Ellie Tzima has recently joined the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine (based in the Gene Centre) as a new PI.
