Lipid / Atherosclerosis / CAD / ACS / Prevention
Thrombosis / Hemostasis
CVI Research Description:
Dr. Song is interested in the vascular biology of inflammatory mediators, including complement, TLRs and macrophage biology. His lab has created and used transgenic and knockout mice to study the role of innate immunity in vascular injury and thrombotic disorders.
