Giovanni Mann
Professor of Vascular Physiology, King’s BHF Centre of Research Excellence, King's College London, London UK
Giovanni Mann is a distinguished Professor of Vascular Physiology at King's College London, leading the Vascular Biology research group.
His research focuses on understanding the signaling pathways that activate antioxidant defense genes in endothelial and smooth muscle cells under oxidative stress.
Prof Mann's work delves into vascular dysfunctions associated with conditions like ischemic stroke, atherosclerosis, and gestational diabetes, with a particular interest in the health benefits of sulforaphane as an activator of Nrf2-targeted antioxidant enzymes.
He has emphasized the importance of culturing vascular cells under physiological oxygen levels and has highlighted Nrf2's role in ischaemia-reperfusion injury in endothelial cells under in vivo oxygen conditions.
Giovanni Mann holds a BSc in Zoology from The George Washington University, along with a PhD and an MSc in Physiology from UCL.
