Our research interest is to understand the mechanism of pathological cardiac remodeling with the aim to develop intervention tool to ameliorate cardiac dysfunction.  We are using different mice models such as Ins2+/- Akita ( T1D), db/db (T2D), CBS+/-, MMP9-/- and Ins2+/- /MMP9-/-, different treatments including high fat diet, exercise training, and several approaches including miRNA, autophagy, epigenetic modification, inflammation, and stem cell to understand the cardiac remodeling process.
