- PHY, GA Professional Licensing BRD, 2020
Dr. Shi's research centers on autoimmune rheumatic disorders with primary focus on Lupus and Antiphospholipid Syndrome. His laboratory investigations extend into vascular pathophysiology and metabolic dysregulation, examining molecular mechanisms linking liver function to aneurysm formation, exercise interventions for age-related cardiac decline, and epigenetic regulation of obesity through HDAC9 pathways in aging models.
Analysis of Dr. Shi's 2023-2024 publications reveals convergent themes at the intersection of rheumatology, vascular biology, and metabolism. Key research trajectories include soluble epoxide hydrolase in vascular inflammation, multiomics approaches to bypass graft failure, combinatorial exercise therapies for cardiac aging, and thermoregulatory impacts on adipose tissue differentiation - predominantly utilizing transgenic murine models of metabolic disease.
Professional recognition:
