Xiaochun Long

Dr. Long’s lab is mainly interested in the molecular underpinnings of vascular smooth muscle (VSMC) phenotypic plasticity, which underlies a variety of prominent vascular diseases. Her expertise relates to the utilization of RNA/DNA deep sequencing, bioinformatics, molecular biology, and translational vascular disease models (arterial venous fistula, wire injury, and aortic aneurysm) to discover and dissect novel regulators in different vascular disorders. She has a long-standing interest in re
