Research summary
AI-generated

Weiwei An's research focuses on the molecular biology of blood vessel disease, particularly how gene regulation and RNA processes contribute to conditions like neointimal hyperplasia (thickened artery walls after injury), aortic aneurysm, and atherosclerosis. Work spans microRNAs, splicing factors, and immune cell signaling pathways that drive vascular remodeling, with some additional projects on chemical probes for detecting reactive molecules in living cells. This research combines bioinformatics analysis, molecular biology techniques, and cell/animal models to understand and potentially target cardiovascular disease mechanisms.
