Respiratory Diseases | Microbiome | Omics Data Methodology
We integrated microbiome research approaches into population studies to identify risk factors of severe respiratory infections and chronic respiratory diseases. We are very interested in how the extreme weather events affect the human microbiome, leading to increased disease risks.
We have been performing collaborative research utilizing novel in-vitro and in-vivo models to elucidate the functional role of airway microbiota in asthma exacerbations.
