BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
We are particularly interested in the roles of BMP2 and MEF2A signaling pathways in zebrafish cardiovascular system and somite development. We try to get new insights into the prevention and treatment of related human diseases.

The research on environmental toxicology, particularly the effects of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals on zebrafish development, is going on at our lab. We hope these investigations will provide new clues to the detection and management of environmental pollutants.
