BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
We use the zebrafish model to discover novel regulators of neutrophil migration, inflammation and pathogen-host interaction. We also use human cell and mouse models to study related molecular mechanisms. Our goal is to discover novel biological regulations that can be used to control neutrophilic inflammation and many related diseases.
