I'm a researcher at UCSF. My research interest is exploring the mechanism of kidney stone formation. Our previous works focused on the cellular damage facilitating stone formation, and uncover the protective role of autophagy for the formation of crystals. Now I'm doing basic and clinical research regarding the stone disease.
