Educational Background

• M.D., Xinjiang Medical University (1982)

Research Interests

• Cardio-thoracic and vascular surgery, physiology, and pharmacology. Research focuses on: (i) elucidating the mechanisms of ischemic- pharmacologic- and exercise-induced preconditioning by using the ischemia/reperfusion model in genetically engineered animals, (ii) studying protection of ischemic myocardium by using gene and/or cell therapy, and (iii) elucidating adaptations to ischemia/reperfusion injury in the aging heart.
