Specializations
Renal and Cardiovascular Medicine
The investigator concentrates on chronic kidney disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and the cardiovascular burden associated with renal impairment.
- Management of proteinuria in chronic kidney disease
- Therapeutic strategies for end‑stage kidney disease on dialysis
- Cardiovascular risk reduction in dialysis patients
- Preservation of eGFR
Research integrates renal protection with cardiovascular outcome improvement.
Pulmonary Critical Care
A primary focus is on severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute respiratory infections in intensive care settings.
- Exacerbation mitigation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Treatment of ventilator‑associated pneumonia
- Inflammatory pathway modulation in lung disease
- Nebulized therapy for critical respiratory infections
Efforts aim to lower morbidity in mechanically ventilated patients.
Oncology – Hormone‑Responsive Breast Cancer
The investigator engages in therapeutic development for node‑positive estrogen receptor‑positive HER2‑negative early breast cancer with high recurrence risk.
- Optimization of endocrine therapy for node‑positive estrogen receptor‑positive HER2‑negative early breast cancer
- Targeted hormonal pathway inhibition
- Recurrence risk stratification
- Adjuvant treatment efficacy assessment
Focus is on improving disease‑free survival.
Metabolic and Diabetes Care
Research addresses the intersection of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.
- Combined glucose‑lowering and cardioprotective agents for type 2 diabetes
- Blood pressure control in diabetic patients
- Heart failure prevention in metabolic syndrome
- Integrated management of cardiometabolic risk
Goal is to reduce cardiovascular events in diabetic populations.
Infectious Diseases in Critical Care
Attention is given to nosocomial respiratory infections, particularly ventilator‑associated pneumonia.
- Antimicrobial stewardship in ICU for ventilator‑associated pneumonia
- Adjunctive therapies for VAP
- Outcome monitoring of respiratory infections
- Preventive strategies for mechanically ventilated patients
Work aims to enhance survival of critically ill patients with pulmonary infections.
