Description of Research Expertise
The Pharmacology of COX InhibitionA particular interest is to elucidate the cardiovascular biology of COXs and its implication for the use of aspirin, traditional NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors. Studies in mice and zebrafish complement studies of the genetic and environmental factors which modulate response to this interesting class of compounds.
Description of Itmat Expertise
Dr. FitzGerald is interested in the role of eicosanoids in inflammatory and cardiovascular disease and in the regulation and function of peripheral clocks.Selected Publications
