   Dr. Johnny Chen
   
   Congratulations to Changyi (Johnny) Chen, M. D., Ph.D., who was awarded a new R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the amount of $1,875,000 in support of his project entitled "Effects of HAART drugs on endothelial dysfunction of pulmonary arteries" for 5 years (September 2005 to June 2010).
   
   The incidence of pulmonary artery hypertension in HIV-infected individuals is much greater than that in the general population.However, underlying mechanisms of this HIV-related vascular complication are unknown.Dr. Chen has proposed a multidisciplinary study to uncover these molecular mechanisms and to develop new treatment strategies to control this complication.
   
   Dr. Chen is Professor and Vice Chair of Research at the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine.He is also Professor at the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology and Director of Molecular Surgeon Research Center.His research activity has focused on the HIV-related vascular lesion formation, vascular tissue engineering, cardiovascular risk factors, new genes, and immunology with more than 140 publications.Since 1998, he has been awarded six NIH grants (R01) and several other research grants and has been a leader in the field of vascular biology and disease.In addition, he has been honored as a member of the NIH and American Heart Association (AHA) study sections to participle in the decision-making of research funding and direction of the field at national levels.
