This area of research focuses on (1) vascular protection—searching for protective molecules and their mechanisms; (2) inflammation—looking for novel inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors that are involved in cardiometabolic disorders ; and (3) metabolic dysregulation in human diseases.
Jeng-jiann Chiu, Ph. D. / Distinguished Investigator
Research Field：To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of the regulation of vascular functions, with a special emphasis on the transduction of mechanical stimuli, such as blood flow-induced shear stress and complex flow pattern, into intracellular signaling and the ensuing gene expression and functional responses in cardiovascular disease.
