Dr. Kao's research program has several active projects: Pulmonary Vascular Disease; Lung Inflammation and Regeneration; Lung surfactant rheology and cellular oxidative stress; and Novel Gene Regulators NF45 and NF90.

Dr. Jackson’s lab uses proteomics and advanced imaging techniques to study fundamental mechanisms of cell biology. He has made a broad set of discoveries related to regulatory complexes and signaling in the cell cycle, cancer, signaling within the primary cilium and the link between cilia and human genetic diseases.
