Research AreasSpecial Interests
Research Interests
Bronchial asthma; as asthma is the most common chronic inflammatory lung disease, I intend to elucidate the disease mechanisms and explore a new therapeutic approach.
Emphysema; as emphysema is a terminal stage of lung damage in lung diseases such as cigarette smoking-associated COPD or Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, which is a genetic disease. My goal is to explore a novel therapeutic tool to repair and normalize damaged lung tissue.
