Evans Lab
for Vascular Mechanobiology 

Welcome to the Vascular Mechanobiology Lab, which is headed by Professor Paul Evans at the William Harvey Research Institute at Queen Mary University of London.

 

As a lab, we delve into the intricate biology of endothelial cells, the vital lining of blood vessels. Our primary focus lies in unraveling the mechanisms by which these cells react to the mechanical forces induced by the circulation of blood. Specifically, we explore the connection between endothelial responses to shear stress and the development of atherosclerosis. This disease, responsible for heart attacks and strokes, stands as a significant contributor to mortality and disability.
