Hi
My name is Utsab Subedi. I am a third-year graduate student in the cellular biology and anatomy department at LSU-Health Sciences Shreveport. I am in Dr. Panchatcharam lab. Our Lab focuses on the role of LPA in various diseases conditions, namely stroke, cancer, myocardial infarction, and vascular restenosis. The focus of my study is vascular restenosis- mainly the role of Lipid phosphate phosphatase 3 (LPP3) in neointimal formation leading to restenosis under diabetic conditions. LPP3 is an enzyme that degrades LPA, thereby maintaining the homeostatic level of LPA in tissue and circulation.
