RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Dr. Gore’s research interests span five areas of investigation of microvascular function and vascular biophysics. They include:

• The mechanisms of fluid exchange and the biophysical nature of the exchange barrier in single capillaries.
• The mechanisms of force generation and movement of single neutrophils and macrophage migrating in vitro and in vivo.
• The pharmacomechanical determinants of arteriolar function in single, isolated arterioles and in microvascular networks.
• The role of cell motility in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
• Blood pressure regulation and distribution in the microcirculation.
