Nuestra linea de investigación en el Laboratorio de Dinámicas Bronovasculares y Daño Pulmonar está orientada a dilucidar el Rol de los Receptores Purinérgicos en el Control de tono vascular pulmonar, particularmente estamos interesados en explorar nuevas vías fisiopatológicas en que aquellos receptores podrían estar involucrados. Recientemente hemos obtenido financiamiento (Fondecyt regular) para realizar estudios del tono vascular pulmonar en Hipertensión Pulmonar y la participación de receptores purinérgicos en su desarrollo.
