Research Interest

Abhay’s primary interest is in cardiovascular remodeling. He is trained in multiscale computational models of vascular adaptation and experimental (soft tissue) biomechanics.  He has made original research contributions to cardiovascular development, ageing and diseases including- vein graft failure in coronary bypass surgery, tissue engineered vascular grafts, hypertension and arteriovenous fistulas. He aims to devise novel therapies and treatments for vascular diseases and translate them into the clinic.
