Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Shi Ying Cai. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Trained molecular biologist. Associated with Dr. James Boyer, Shi-Ying Cai studies molecular mechanisms of bile formation and cholestatic liver injury. Current studies focus on the mechanism by which bile acids initiate the inflammatory response in hepatocytes, identifying therapeutic targets for cholestatic liver injury. Additionally, Cai is interested in using a comparative genomic approach to understand the structure-function relationship of bile salt transporters characterized in humans and rodents.
