Jason Hong

Dr. Jason Hong is a board-certified pulmonary and critical care physician at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), providing care in Westwood and Santa Monica hospitals. As a Clinical Assistant Professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine, he focuses on pulmonary vascular diseases including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), combining experimental research with computational approaches to uncover molecular mechanisms.

Hong's research spans translational studies of PAH pathobiology, including single-cell transcriptomics, multi-omics analysis, and molecular imaging. His work identifies novel therapeutic targets like Asporin, TM4SF1, and LOXL2, while exploring sex differences and neuroinflammatory pathways in pulmonary hypertension.

Recent publications highlight trends in single-cell sequencing, digital spatial profiling, and RNA-binding protein functions. His team integrates preclinical models with clinical sample analysis to bridge molecular insights to patient therapies, particularly in right ventricular failure and pulmonary fibrosis comorbidities.

Hong collaborates with UCLA's multidisciplinary researchers in cardiovascular physiology and pulmonary medicine, though no specific lab or grant details are mentioned in the provided text. His work appears in journals including Circulation, Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol, and Hypertension.
