Prof. Susan Quaggin is an internationally leading expert in vascular and lymphatic biology whose research redefines fundamental mechanisms of endothelial function, vascular development, and organ homeostasis. She demonstrates how endothelial signaling pathways, mechanosensitive processes, and interactions between blood and lymphatic vessels govern organ architecture, and how disruptions lead to diseases such as glaucoma, renal fibrosis, and vascular malformations. Her work uniquely integrates molecular mechanisms with clinically relevant concepts and opens new therapeutic perspectives.
