Research Interests

1. Roles of cytokines and chemokines in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory pu lmonary diseases:

(1) Mechanism of airway remodeling;

(2) Pathogenesis of severe asthma;

(3) Pathogenesis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD);

2. Roles of microRNA in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory pulmonary diseases:
