Research Interests:

My major research interest is focused on the role of mPGES-1 in regulation of renal function and blood pressure. PGE2 has very complex roles through its four subreceptors (EP1 to EP4) in modulating the inflammatory response, vascular tone and renal handling of water and salt. mPGES-1 is the best characterized PGE2 synthases and serves as the most promising target in the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs. In past years, my work revealed important actions of mPGES-1 in regulating water and salt metabolism, blood pressure and kidney injury. In addition, my research interests also involve the roles of nuclear receptors PPAR gamma and LXR in regulation of fluid metabolism and kidney injury.

My recent research directions include

  • the mechanistic investigation of prostaglandins and nuclear receptors in the control of renal function;
  • mitochondrial role in regulating blood pressure and renal function; and
  • role of renal inflammation in modulating fluid metabolism
