Dr Sellke investigates neurologic, behavioral, and other clinical outcomes during and after cardiac surgery. His interests focus on genomic and proteomic predictors of outcomes, and in particular the influence of inflammation and blood transfusion. Dr Sellke's basic scientific research focuses on the regulation of the microcirculation in health and disease, collateral vessel formation and its regulation, the use of angiogenic growth factors and cell therapy to increase perfusion and function of ischemic tissue and ischemic injury during heart surgery. His research is funded in large part by several grants from the National Institutes of Health.
