Dr. Hoh's laboratory performs research investigating the role of hematopoietic stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells in cerebrovascular disease, specifically carotid atherosclerosis, aneurysm formation, aneurysm recanalization after coil embolization, and stroke. He works closely with Dr. Edward W. Scott, the Director of the University of Florida Program in Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. They are studying the migration of hematopoietic stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells to sites of vascular injury and the signaling pathways involved in this process. They are interested in the role of hematopoietic stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells in vascular repair and how this fails and results in carotid atherosclerosis, aneurysm formation, aneurysm recanalization after coil embolization, and stroke. They are interested in the genetic modification of endothelial progenitor cells to enhance their ability for vascular repair as a potential biologic therapy for cerebrovascular disorders.
