Research Interests
Ingrid Fleming (born in Northern Ireland) obtained her BSc in Biochemistry and Pharmacology at Aston University in England and her PhD at the Louis Pasteur University in Strasbourg, France. She is currently Chair of the Institute for Vascular Signalling at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany. Research focuses on the elucidation of signal transduction mechanisms in the vessel wall, in particular in the endothelium and on the generation of several “autacoids”; including nitric oxide (NO) and cytochrome P450-derived lipid mediators. Current work addresses changes in eNOS phosphorylation associated with the development of type 2 diabetes.
