Research Interests

  • The role of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 and 5 (GRK2 and 5) in the heart including the impacts on I/R induced apoptosis, post-MI heart remodeling and cardiac regeneration.
  • The role of EPO in the regulation of cardiac protection in model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury.
  • The role of G protein q (Gαq) on post-MI heart remodeling
  • Animal model of human disease in Translational Medicine. eg. Method of myocardial infarction in mouse, method of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in mouse.
  • By using extremely efficient methods of myocardial infarction (MI), myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury I/R), transvers aortic constriction (TAC), and unique approach of cardiac gene and cell delivery and powerful physiologic and histologic monitoring tools, my laboratory also interests in compounds screening, gene, and cell therapies.
