Title: "Thrombospondin-1 in Hypoxic Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling"
Principal Investigator: Cristhiaan D. Ochoa, MD
Sponsor: Charles A. Hales, MD
Type: Postdoctoral Fellowship Grant
Source: American Heart Association, 2005-2007 (Pulmonary Hypertension Association)
Description: The overall goal of this project was to elucidate the role of Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), a natural antiangiogenic factor in hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension.

Title: “Cell Signaling and Lung Pathobiology”
Sponsor: Mary Townsley, PhD (Program Director)
Type: Predoctoral Fellowship Training Grant
Source: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; 2007-2010
Description: This Institutional Training Program in Cell Signaling and Lung Pathobiology supports on a competitive basis predoctoral fellows in the Basic Medical Sciences PhD program at the University of South Alabama.  The Training Program combines state-of-the-art research training with Program faculty with advanced course work in lung biology, lung pathobiology and signal transduction.
