Associate Professor , Brown University

Research Interests: oxidative stress, inflammatory response, mitochondrial dysfunction, mitophagy, cellular senescence, and metabolism.

My research interests focus on the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease in premature infants. We employ neonatal hyperoxic exposure as a model of BPD to investigate the mechanisms and identify therapeutic targets for this disease.
