ACKNO\ryLEDGMENTS<br />

I must say th<strong>at</strong> my road to achieve <strong>the</strong> Ph.D. degree was not an easy one. During<br />

<strong>the</strong> hard times, <strong>the</strong> burden <strong>of</strong> my problems was made easier by my extended family-all<br />

<strong>the</strong> staff, students and faculty <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Institute <strong>of</strong> Cardiovascular Sciences, St. Boniface<br />

General Hospital Research Centre. The help from all <strong>of</strong> you was essential in archiving<br />

my goal. So, THANK you all.<br />

First and foremost I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Pawan K. Singal for<br />

all his support, his excellent mentorship, his guidance and his füendship th<strong>at</strong> he<br />

expressed during <strong>the</strong>se years. His kindness has helped me to navig<strong>at</strong>e through <strong>the</strong> rough<br />

w<strong>at</strong>ers <strong>of</strong> my academic development. I would also like to extend gr<strong>at</strong>itude to <strong>the</strong><br />

members <strong>of</strong> my advisory committee; Dr. Naranjan S. Dhalla, Dr. Ian M.C. Dixon and Dr.<br />

Elissavet Kardami. My committee members did not only help me with my research<br />

project but have also provided me with essential advice which will be more <strong>the</strong>n useful in<br />

my future academic career.<br />

I would also like to thank Dr. Thomas P. Thomas and Dr. Sudha Thangirala for<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir help with rny project. Their expertise, <strong>the</strong>ir knowledge and <strong>the</strong>ir suggestions have<br />

helped me, enorrnously, in completion <strong>of</strong> my project.<br />
