Project Title

Air pollution and health - what are the underlying biochemical mediators?

Research Interest

My research interests include the health effects of short-, median- and long-term exposure to air pollution on cardiovascular system, and mainly explore the underlying potential Biochemical mediators (omics biomarkers). Meanwhile, I'm also interested in the effect modifications and mediating factors (eg. nutrition and medication) in the association between air pollution and health outcomes.
