    Research Interest

    I am interested in the effects of new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies on medical decision making, patient outcomes, and cost. Current projects include the CLEVER trial, comparing treatments for intermittent claudication; effect of new IVC filter technology on DVT management; and the role of percutaneous intervention in the management of AV fistula maturation.

    Research Interest

    I am interested in thrombosis and the role of thrombin and its receptor in venous wall remodeling following venous thrombosis. I am also interested in vascular hemodynamics and the use of ultrasound, MRI and computational modeling in evaluating arterial flow in exercise conditions.

    Research Interest

    Dr. Zhou’s vascular research laboratory focuses on pathogenesis of atherosclerotic lesion formation and molecular mechanisms of intimal hyperplasia, including smooth muscle cell proliferation, oxidative stress, and endothelial cell dysfunction. Our specific clinical research interests are re-stenosis following endovascular interventions, plaque progression in arterial trees, and alternative outcome measures.
