BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
Our research is focusing on the study of vascular biology.
Specifically, we are interested in understanding:
(1) the angiogenic cues during diseased state or development;
(2) the process of tissue repair and remodeling after traumatic injury;
(3) Regulation of tumor micro-environment and its role in combination treatment of targeted therapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
