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.

My goal is to strive for excellence as a researcher and an educator, aiming to not only impart knowledge but also captivate, entertain, and inspire the upcoming generation of physician-scientists and scientists. I have been involved in teaching undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and clinical fellows in the past. My overall teaching philosophy is to provide students with as many perspectives on a particular issue as possible and promote their motivation to achieve goals. I enjoyed tutoring students by the bench in the research lab. I would like to mentor undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, and fellows and train them to be a young scientist devoted to study lung and cardiovascular biology.
