Postdoctoral fellow, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, 2000
Research Interest
Dr. Arteel’s research focuses on the interaction between hepatotoxicants (e.g., arsenic) and lifestyle choices (e.g., obesity and alcohol) in the initiation and progression of chronic liver diseases. His current research foci are based on the understanding that transitional changes to the ECM proteome (i.e., “matrisome”) play an underappreciated role in the initiation and progression of liver disease. He is developing computational tools to attempt to predict mechanism(s) and to develop biomarkers (or surrogate biomarkers) for use in the clinics.
Educational Interest
Dr. Arteel has been an active teacher for medical, graduate and dental students. He is also an active mentor/advisor for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, having served as the primary advisor for over 25 graduate students and post-docs, plus serving on over 25 graduate student committees.
