Research:
My research aims to understand the lung vascular homeostasis and the pathogenesis of cardiopulmonary diseases using novel animal models, integrated pharmacological approaches, genome editing and single cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics. In addition, I investigate delineation the molecular and cellular mechanisms of right heart failure in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and identification of therapeutic targets for the treatment of cardiopulmonary diseases patients.
