Surawee Chuaiphichai
BSc (Hons), DPhil
Postdoctoral Research Scientist
I am a postdoctoral research fellow in Prof Keith Channon's laboratory in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine. I completed my DPhil in 2014 in which I studied the role of endothelial cell Gch1 and tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) biosynthesis in vascular function and blood pressure regulation. I am currently investigating the role of endothelial cell BH4-dependent NOS regulation in vascular adaptations and blood pressure regulation in normal pregnancy using a novel mouse model of endothelial cell BH4 deficiency (endothelial cell-targeted Gch1 knockout mouse).
