| Research Focus | Stroke/Ischemia Traumatic Brain Injury Hypertension Gene/Protein expression Signal transduction |
| Research Description | My principal research aim is to bridge the gap of knowledge between basic science investigations and clinical applications. Hence, my experiments are designed to explore the molecular mechanisms of gene/protein expression, such as DJ-1 or PARK-7, underlying ischemic or oxidative stress-induced cell death, with an eye towards exploiting the dynamic role of specific proteins (e.g., dual Endothelin-1/Angiotensin-II receptor or Dear) for therapeutic intervention. |
