    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview

    My focus is on applying my expertise in the area of skeletal biology to develop new therapeutic strategies for bone diseases. Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis cause various problems to the bone, including bone erosion, osteoporosis, and ectopic new bone formation, which require new treatment strategies. My recent study elucidated inflamed synovium derived microRNAs regulate bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis. I am currently developing gene therapy approaches using the recombinant Adeno Associated Virus (rAAV) to treat bone disease.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
