One of the current cardiovascular projects is to investigate the function and molecular regulatory mechanism of the cardiac conduction system, CCS, homeostasis and regeneration. Dysfunction of CCS leads to cardiac arrhythmia, a major cause of death worldwide. One of the current craniofacial projects is to study the cross talk between Hippo and Wnt pathways in regulating the development of the cranial neural crest cells, the migrating multipotent cells giving rise to different derivatives composing the majority of the craniofacial structures.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Assistant Professor Pediatrics UT Health Science Center at Houston
