Research Interests
Hui Xie, MD, PhD, joined Children’s National Medical Center in 2003. She earned her MD at the Tianjin Medical University in China, and a PhD in cardiovascular pharmacology at the University of Calgary in Canada. She has been well trained, and has many accomplishments in the field of vascular physiology, pharmacology, and cell biology. Dr. Xie brought her strong expertise in studies of isolated blood vessels to Children’s. She has been focusing on the cellular mechanisms underlying cerebral vascular injury associated with ischemia/reperfusion and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy. Areas of Dr. Xie’s research interest include: Regulation of vascular tone initiated by a wide variety of stimuli (hormonal and neuronal factors, agonists, mechanical forces, and etc.), using isolated resistance arteries from peripheral and cerebral circulation. Cellular signaling pathways of cerebral vascular injury associated with ischemia/reperfusion, ECMO and CPB; Role of the endothelium and oxidative stress in vascular injury. Characterization of pathological alterations in blood vessels at the levels of reactivity, structure, and cell signaling pathways, to get better understanding of the mechanisms that control vascular functions under both healthy and diseased conditions, thereby contributing to the development of potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
