Research includes examination of effects of oxytocin on sleep apnea.

Dr. Weglicki studies the role of hypomagnesemia and magnesium deficiency in cardiovascular (CV) inflammation in animal models. He has also studied the antioxidant properties of cardiovascular drugs, effects of elevated cardiac iron levels in rodents, and iron accumulation and oxidative injury in…

Dr. Zhu's research investigates mechanisms of how cells maintain stability of their genome and utilizes this information to identify new drugs for cancer treatment. Projects include: (1) Investigating the mechanisms of how cells response to DNA damage and repair damaged DNA; (2) Identifying new…

Dr. Zhang's research focuses on the role of BRCA1 in breast cancer development and the function of transcription elongation in cardiac physiology

Dr. Wang studies the molecular and cellular mechanisms, especially those related to renal sodium transport, involved in salt-sensitive hypertension and aldosterone escape. She also studies the role of mitochondrial function in renal epithelial cells following anoxic injury.

Dr. Wang's research interest is to study the anesthetic and analgesic modulation of central cardio-respiratory autonomic regulation and the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which anesthetics produce their effects in the brainstem.

Dr. Zheng's research interest is in identifying target genes regulated by the Hh signal and thus to understand the molecular mechanisms employed by the Hh signaling pathway in regulating cell-cell interactions (I). She is interested in developing novel reagents and experimental approaches combined…

My interest includes pharmacoepidemiology, health outcome research, and medical informatics. I have been dedicated to addressing health and health care disparities among the VA populations since 2013. My collaboration with experts in different disciplines on several NIH- and Pharma-funded projects…
