Research Interests: 
Signaling pathways in lung development and repair

Research Summary: 

 

Cell-cell signaling during mammalian development and in postnatal physiology Summary: We use mouse as a model system to understand how embryos develop. This knowledge is critical for understanding the basis of human congenital defects. Moreover, many adult diseases have their origin in development. Thus, our studies have important implications for developing stem cell therapy and identifying the cause of cancers.
