Biography
My primary research interests have focused on the neural substrates of stress, that is, the neural circuitry underlying stress responses, role of immune systems in stress response, and developing novel antidepressants using applications of herbal medicines. It is the goal of my research in particular, to elucidate both the effects and the mechanisms of action of the herbal medicine, using animal models of stress-related diseases such as anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue or insomnia which can be tested clinically
