Research Interests

Stem cells, Blood brain barrier, Cerebral small vessel diseases

I am a stem cells/vascular biology scientist and my research aim is to build a Blood-brain-barrier chip model using patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells to study small vessel diseases and create a platform for drug screening/testing. Joining the 'organ-on-a-chip' network would give me the opportunity to interact and establish collaborations with experts in this technology.
