Chun Jiang interested in cellular physiology and neurobiology. Several areas of research are undertaken in this laboratory now. They are related to autonomic regulation of breathing and vascular tones. Using a multidisciplinary approach such as functional genomics, molecular biology, patch clamp, multielectrode arrays, in-vitro tissue/organ preparations, optogenetics, plethysmograph and in-vivo electrophysiology, we hope to identify the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying normal cellular functions, and determinate how their dysfunctions cause diseases.
