My current research interests focus on vascular biology, especially on cell metabolism, signaling transduction and cell interactions(nerve-vessel interaction) implicated in vascular morphogenesis and vascular diseases. Experimental models used in my current research project include mouse postnatal retinal vascular system, zebrafish embryo, mouse with implanted tumor and HUVECs. One of my work entitled as "Endothelial CDS2 deficiency causes VEGFA-mediated vascular regression and tumor inhibition" was accepted by the journal of "Cell Research".
