You-Yang Zhao, PhD
Assistant Professor of Pharmacology
Center for Lung and Vascular Biology
The research in the lab is directed toward understanding the molecular mechanisms of lung and vascular diseases and providing novel therapeutic
approaches for these complex human diseases employing the state-of-art technologies such as genetically modified mouse models of human diseases and endothelial
progenitor cells/stem cells-mediated endothelial repair. The lab is mainly focused on the following three projects: 1) the essential role of FoxM1 in endothelial
repair following vascular injury; 2) the potential role of caveolin-1-regulated eNOS in the mechanism of lung diseases such as pulmonary hypertension; 3) the role
of adiponectin signaling in vascular inflammation and acute lung injury.
