معرفی
Liming Hao, MD, is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology at Yale University School of Medicine, affiliated with the Yale Pathology faculty at Bridgeport Hospital. Her primary role is in pathology, with additional involvement in the Pancreatic Diseases Program and collaborations across disciplines.
Education & Training:
- MD: Beijing Medical University (1983)
- Residency: Yale University School of Medicine (1999), Yale-New Haven Hospital (1997–1999)
- Fellowship: Gastrointestinal Pathology at Yale (2000), Transplantation at University of Colorado Health Sciences Center (Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes)
Research Interests: Dr. Hao’s research focuses on immune regulation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), mechanisms of allograft rejection, and autoimmune diseases. She investigates the role of Toll-like receptors in gut inflammation, complement proteins in airway and gastrointestinal pathologies, and cytokine signaling in transplantation. Her work integrates clinical and experimental models, including murine studies, to understand immune-related disease processes.
Publications: Her articles span from 1990 to 2008, reflecting a sustained career in pathology and immunology. Key themes include diagnostic methods in pathology, immune tolerance modulation, and translational studies linking basic immunology to clinical outcomes. Notably, her 2006 work on Toll-like receptors in colitis highlights her contributions to understanding gut microbiota interactions.
Advising & Grants: While no formal advisees are listed, Dr. Hao collaborates extensively with researchers such as Joseph Madri (immunology), Pei Hui (pathology), Susan Bell, and Young Choi. Her research has been supported by grants from institutions like the NIH, focusing on experimental models of immune-mediated diseases.
Labs & Teams: She contributes to the Pancreatic Diseases Program and collaborates within interdisciplinary teams at Yale School of Medicine, leveraging her expertise in pathology and immunology to advance translational research in gastrointestinal and transplant-related disorders.
