معرفی
Dr. Ying-Jie Peng is a Research Professor in the Department of Medicine-Emergency Medicine at the University of Chicago, focusing on cardiorespiratory physiology and hypoxia adaptation. Their work explores molecular mechanisms of carotid body oxygen sensing, with emphasis on gasotransmitters like H2S and CO, oxidative stress, and epigenetic regulation in chronic intermittent hypoxia.
- Key Research Areas: Physiology, Molecular Biology, Neurology, Biochemistry
Publications highlight their contributions to understanding sleep apnea pathophysiology, carotid body chemoreflexes, and the role of olfactory receptors in hypoxia responses. Collaborations span institutions and disciplines, including studies on rodent models and human genetics. Their work has high citation impact, particularly in linking carotid body function to hypertension and respiratory disorders.
While no specific awards or student mentorship details are listed here, their research has been supported by numerous grants and is frequently discussed in academic and clinical settings. They maintain active collaborations and have contributed to pre-clinical therapeutic strategies targeting the carotid body.
