Research Interests
My research focuses on human immune and vascular development and their roles in maternal–fetal health. By integrating single-cell and spatial multi-omics with functional studies, I investigate fetal hematopoiesis, macrophage development, and endothelial cell specialization. I am particularly interested in how immune–vascular interactions shape organ development and placental function, and how their dysregulation contributes to pregnancy complications.
