Research/Clinical Keywords

Dr. YUE LI had been studying Ca2+ -induce-Ca2+-release (CICR) mechanism in cardiac muscle, phospholamban (PLB) phosphorylation in sinoatrial node cell (SANC) and intestinal immune regulation for years. She is an expertise in the area of physiology, molecular and cellular biology as well as immunology. After she joined Dr. Anna Birukova and Dr. Konstantin Birukov’s lab, she is concentrated in the study of molecular mechanisms in the regulation of lung endothelial barrier function and is trying to find novel barrier-protective and anti-inflammatory drugs in acute lung injury.
