Research
Dr. Shaw's research background includes the use of: i) a murine model to study the
pathogenesis of and immune response to Chlamydia trachomatis, ii) in vitro assays
as well as an extremophile fish model to study the oxidative mediators hydrogen peroxide
and hydrogen sulfide, which are both relevant in vascular biology. These research
projects have been funded by the National Institutes of Health and National Science
Foundation.
