• Animal models of ALI repair and remodeling using cell/molecular biology techniques to explore the role of the Wnt-β-catenin signaling cascade in lung septal repair and remodeling.
• Animal models of repair and remodeling failure in emphysema using cell/molecular biology techniques to explore the role of the Wnt-β-catenin signaling cascade in lung septal repair and remodeling failure.
• The effects of regional ventilation on lung injury repair and remodeling. In vivo model of prolonged high volume ventilation in rats. (Focusing on MKP-1 mediated MAPK regulation in ALI)
