Major Research Theme:

My research projects are mainly aimed at elucidation of the mechanism of signal transduction and redox signaling that modulate the phenotype of human endothelial cell (EC) in health and disease. Using growth factors and cytokine as ligand, we study the intracellular signal transduction events  that  determine the growth of new blood vessels, maintenance of vascular integrity, and hemostasis.
