Cardio-pulmonary and cardio-metabolic research, Human genetics research.

Obesity-driven metabolic diseases are the major drivers of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the modern era. My research interest is to study on CVD and to discover novel markers, effectors, and predictors of cardio metabolic disease, which refers to the nexus of cardiovascular disease and obesity-driven diseases like type 2diabetes.
