Shanghai, China 09/2008 - present Research Assistant Professor/Research Scientist, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX 03/2005 - 08/2008 Manager of cardiovascular lab, lead a 6-person group composed of research associate, postdoctoral fellow, residencies and medical students.? ? Pilot study on heart angiogenesis induced by moderate alcohol in rat (ongoing). Preclinical study on dilated cardiomyopathy caused by chronic high-dose alcohol consumption (ongoing).? Echocardiography and conductance catheter is used to estimate heart function in rat.? Cutting-edge molecular biological methods are used to study the mechanisms involved.Research Scientist, University Heart Center, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 03/2003 � 02/2005? Manager of cardiovascular lab, led a 5-person group.? Using the rat model developed by our lab in 1998 (chronic high-dose alcohol-feeding plus selenium-/vitamin E-deficient diet), we observed the heart changes from hypertrophy to dilation and cardiac dysfunction with echocardiography and conductance catheter. This is a novel animal model in this area (NIH founded).? Investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms with cutting-edge molecular biology methods..? Co- chaired �Practice of Medical Science� seminar series created to support the professional development of the postdoctoral scholars. Postdoctoral Fellow, Division of Cardiology, University of Minnesota, Minneaoplis, MN 02/2002 � 02/2003? ? Initiated a new research project on vascular endothelial cell dysfunction in redox factor-1 knock-out mice.
