Positions

Overview

  • I am the Robert B. Adams Endowed Professor of Pathology and Division Director of Laboratory Medicine, Department of Pathology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). I completed my Medical degree in Nanchang, China and Ph.D. in Mol. Cell. Biology at University of Vienna, Austria. Following my residency in Clinical Pathology and fellowship in Transfusion Medicine (Blood banking and Hemostasis) at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, I took my first faculty position as Assistant Professor and Director of Coagulation Laboratory at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, affiliated with University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA. I rose to the rank of Tenured Associate Professor of Pathology in 2011. In Feb 2015, I was recruited to the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

    My passion has been in providing high-quality patient care, supporting education, and fostering innovative research. At CHOP/Penn, I helped build one of the most innovative and advanced coagulation laboratory to support patient care, education, and cutting edge research. At UAB, I am leading a team to implement various innovative processes to improve the quality of service and help build a high complexity laboratory with automation. I am the first scientist who first identified and cloned ADAMTS13, a plasma metalloprotease critical for hemostasis; deficiency of this enzymatic activity results in a potentially fatal syndrome thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). My laboratory has focused on the structure-function and regulation of ADAMTS13, as well as pathogenesis and novel therapeutics of immune TTP. My colleagues and I have published more than 100 manuscripts in high-profile and peer reviewed journals. Additionally, I serve the NIH study section, associate editors for two important journals in our field: Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis and Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.

    I enjoy music, outdoor hiking, and fishing, as well as seeing the world.

    Research Overview

  • My lab has been interested in studying the mechanism of normal and abnormal blood coagulation, specifically the pathogenesis of immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). TTP is a potential fatal blood disorder, resulting from the deficiency of a plasma ADAMTS13 protease, which is essential for the cleavage of von Willebrand factor (VWF), thereby regulating normal hemostasis. Deficiency of this protease results in uncontrolled platelet adhesion and aggregation and thrombus formation throughout the body. Patients with such a condition is universally fatal unless being diagnosed and treated immediately with plasma exchange.

    My lab has been working on 1) biology of ADAMTS13 protease; 2) regulation of ADAMTS13 function, and 3) the molecular mechanisms of TTP. We employed various cutting-edge tools including biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, and animal models to help understand the pathogenesis of TTP and establish novel therapeutics for TTP.

    Teaching Overview

  • I am passionate about medical and science eduction. In the past decade, I have trained more than two dozens of postdoctoral fellows, clinical fellows, residents, graduate students, and undergraduate students. Most of them have gone on to establish their own academic career (teaching, patient care, and research) around the globe. I am very proud of their accomplishments.
