Bio/ Short Paragraph:

In his brief career, Dr. David Granville has completed extensive work on programmed cell death and its role in the treatment and pathogenesis of cancer and cardiovascular disease. His research program is aimed at studying the role of cell death in common vascular disorders such as atherosclerosis, restenosis and cardiac transplant vascular disease. His current research activities are focussed on the biochemical and cellular mechanisms of cardiovascular injury:  Alterations in mitochondrial protein translation, electron transport activity and superoxide production associated with myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury  Regulation of mitochondrial protein synthesis during cardiac preconditioning and ischemia/reperfusion injury  Biochemical regulation of endothelial and smooth muscle apoptosis  Role of apoptosis and its contribution to vascular permeability in the context of transplant vascular disease Past research activities:  Cellular mechanisms involved in photodynamic therapy (PDT)-induced apoptosis  Viral and cellular mechanisms involved in coxsackievirus-induced cytopathic effect  Kinase activation and tyrosine phosphorylation events in response to PDT
