Steven Keller

Enthusiastic, productive Ph.D. cardiovascular researcher with experience in adult and developmental models of cardiovascular disease. Well-versed in mouse models to examine the structure and function of developing and mature vascular systems through genetic manipulation and histological, biochemical, and cell/molecular biological approaches. Responsible for application of novel approaches to understand endothelial biology from protein-protein interactions to organ-level function. Led collaborative teams in the design and implementation of cross-disciplinary experiments resulting in 4 first author peer-reviewed publications and 3 successful independent grant applications. I consistently look for innovative ways to solve problems and improve processes, and insist on raising the bar for myself and the team. I take pride in developing rapport with collaborators and colleagues, motivating the group to successfully complete projects on time.
