Overview

Research Interests

  • Multiple sclerosis
    To investigate the therapeutic efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity profile of novel drug treatments using the Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse model, Cuprizone mouse model, and in-vitro models. To delineate the pathological role of Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) in triggering MS disease using preclinical and clinical samples. To delineate the pathological role of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in Secondary-progressive MS (SP-MS) disease using preclinical and clinical samples.
  • Sepsis and Acute Lung Injury
    To understand the role of various inflammatory pathways in sepsis and SIRS using mouse models of Caecal Ligation and Puncture (CLP), Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and acute lung injury mouse models. To investigate the pathophysiology of sepsis-related vascular permeability and cardiac dysfunction
  • Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
    Preclinical translational studies of novel drug treatments in mouse models of: - Gut ischemia-reperfusion mouse model - Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury mouse model - Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury - Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury mouse model
