OverviewAI-generated summary
Karina Durán's research focuses on the genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying cardiovascular conditions, particularly aortic aneurysms and Marfan syndrome. Her work has investigated therapeutic strategies, including gene therapy approaches to deliver anti-transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) peptides. Durán has explored the use of dependovirus vectors for gene delivery in animal models, specifically a mouse model of Marfan syndrome, to prevent aneurysm formation. Her research also touches upon the physiological adaptations of highly trained athletes, examining factors like pulmonary transit of contrast during exercise and their relation to cardiopulmonary performance. Durán has also contributed to publications on scalable thin section imaging techniques and electrophysiology interventional planning.
