Member, Association of Immuno-adsorption in China

Member, Consult Commit of Regularly Examination in Rheumatology in China   

Research Interests

·Pathogenesis of autoimmune disease

·Systemic lupus erythematosus

·Dendritic cells and immune tolerance

·Cellulaer immunity and drug interperation

·Lupus nephritis and biomarkers

·Clinical outcomes analyses

Her early study focused on the function of T lymphocytes subsets in Rheumatoid arthritis. She then has been involved in the study on the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus, especially on the role of dendritic cells in the development of SLE. She also has been involved in the study of mechanisms of drugs (exp. Anti-malarine) in the treatment of SLE. And She also interested in the biomarkers studies in Lupus nephritis.
