| Mark Talan, M.D., Ph.D., Senior Investigator Chief, Translational Cardiovascular Studies Section |
 Dr. Talan was trained as a physician at the First Leningrad Medical School in Russia. He received his Ph.D. in Physiology at the Pavlov Institute of Physiology in Russia where he continued to work as a principal researcher before coming to the NIA in 1980. His studies at the NIA in the area of thermoregulation, regulation of hemodynamics, and operant conditioning of autonomic functions evolved into his present interests of development and assessment of genetic therapeutic interventions in cardiovascular pathology using different experimental models.Research Interests: The broad objective of this program is to perform preclinical experimentation on animal models of myocardial and hindlimb ischemia as well as on different experimental models of heart failure to evaluate the therapeutic potential of gene therapy with angiogenic growth factors. In vivo experiments are aimed at characterizing clinically relevant animal models and optimal conditions, vectors, and routes of delivery at which gene transfer of angiogenic growth factors induce therapeutic angiogenesis. |
