Ashley Chi, Molecular
Genetics & Microbiology
My research interests are to use DNA microarrays
and other genomic tools to understand the molecular
architecture of our cells in the body and how they
undergo physiological and pathological adaptation
in human diseases. Three major areas of research
define the opportunities for students in my lab.
- Characterize the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms
in setting up and maintaining positional
memory and differentiation of endothelial and smooth
muscle cells.
- Define the molecular details of cellular
responses to environmental stresses
and their roles in human diseases with
DNA microarrays.
- Characterize the circulating pathogenic
factors in scleroderma and other
systemic diseases with genomic approaches.
