Personal profile
Dr. Song joined the Academy of Pharmacy, Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University as an Assistant Professor in Jan 2024. Dr. Song received her Ph.D degree in Cell and Developmental Biology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Afterwards, she did her postdoctoral training in Dr. Daniel Goldsteins lab. She gained her expertise in aging, immunity, adipose tissue and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) including hypertension, myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis. Dr. Song and her laboratory is interested in how aging impacts immunity and immune cell metabolism in disease models including CVDs, cancer and obesity. Currently, their work focuses on areas of immunity, inflammation, aging, metabolism, adipose tissue and autophagy.
Research interests
1. Obesity promotes cancer development and progression during aging.
2. How itaconate suppresses inflammation to improve cardiovascular diseases.
3. Activate immunity through autophagy to fight against cancer with age.
4. Immune cell metabolism reprogramming in disease models like cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
