Research Interests
Dr. Shi is interested in the molecular signaling mechanisms involved in vascular and stem cell biology. Specifically, his research is focused on studying TGF-beta signaling in adult stem cell mobilization, differentiation and proliferation after vascular injury. His research goals include: 1) to decipher the TGF-beta signaling events in mobilization of stem cells and promote smooth muscle cell proliferation; 2) to define the origin of cells in vascular restenotic disease after by-pass injury; and 3) to develop and test nanoparticle based drug delivery system for treatment of vascular restenotic disease.
