My research focuses on two parts, the first is vascular biology, especially on the molecular mechanisms of vascular inflammation. I am particularly interested in the biological functions of the well-known anti-coagulant factor, thrombomodulin (TM). We have demonstrated that TM plays an important role in the regulation of vascular inflammation. The recombinant TM proteins generated in our lab exhibits anti-inflammatory effect on atherosclerosis by interfering with leukocyte recruitment. On the other hand, leukocyte surface expressed-TM significantly participates in leukocyte-endothelial interaction upon inflammation. Secondly, for laboratory medicine, I am working on pre-analytical phase variation evaluation and development of mass spectrometry analysis in clinical biochemistry.
