Conduct research to identify risk factors causing increased viral infections in atopic dermatitis patients. To be specific:
1. Design study protocols to investigate blood and skin specimens collected from atopic dermatitis patients, atopic dermatitis patients with a history of disseminated herpes simplex virus infections (eczema herpeticum) and normal non-atopic healthy individuals.
2. Design in vitro and in vivo experimental systems to investigate the roles of candidate genes, genetic variants and pathways in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis and eczema herpeticum using a variety of cellular, molecular and immunological approaches.
3. Write scientific manuscripts and grant applications to apply for fundings from NIH agency and pharmaceutical companies.
4. Train and supervise technicians in the laboratory to conduct projects.
- Planned and conducted experiments for translational studies of atopic dermatitis.
- Wrote research papers, reports, reviews and summaries regarding atopic dermatitis etiologies.
- Supervised junior staff, including technicians and junior scientists.
- Collected samples and carried out fieldwork.
- Disseminated research findings to various personnel in different formats, including white papers, presentations and spreadsheets.
- Validated incoming data to check information accuracy and integrity while independently locating and correcting concerns.

San Francisco, CA, 05/2005 - 07/2007
1. Investigated different formats of TRAIL agonists in killing cancer cells with different TRAIL receptor mutations found in human cancer patients.
2. Investigated different chemotherapy drugs in overcoming cancer cells' resistance to TRAIL induced apoptosis.
City, STATE, 07/2000 - 05/2005
Conducted research to identify novel genes involved in TRAIL and TLR signaling pathways.
1) Utilized retroviral-based mammalian expression libraries to identify genes that confer resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis.
2) Utilized retroviral-based mammalian expression libraries and identified that Marco was the unique receptor of a lung soluble protein, UterogloClaire- related protein 1.
3) Identified the interaction partners of an adaptor protein TIRP (TICAM2) in TLR4 signaling pathway.
4) Made and analyzed the phenotypes of RELT transgenic mice.
