Research summary
My research program integrates cardiovascular physiology, stem cell biology, developmental biology, functional genomics, and cardio-oncology to investigate molecular mechanisms of congenital and acquired cardiovascular diseases. My laboratory specializes in developing innovative protocols for generating authentic cardiovascular cell types from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), advancing cardiovascular precision medicine. We aim to bridge basic science and clinical translation through disease modeling, therapeutic target identification, and adverse outcome prevention.
