Associate Professor Department of Pharmacology and Center for Lung and Vascular Biology, University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Medicine, Chicago, USA Main research focus: Dr. Zhao's research is focused on molecular mechanisms of pulmonary vascular diseases including ALI/ARDS and PH. His lab has demonstrated the critical role of FoxM1 in regulating endothelial regeneration and restoration of endothelial barrier integrity following lung inflammatory injury and has published several papers in top-tier journals such as J Clin Invest. and J Exp Med. Another focus in the lab is to delineate the molecular basis of Caveolin-1 deficiency-induced pulmonary hypertension. He has published papers related to this topic in PNAS and J Clin Invest.
