Ardie Barry Sailis is a pharmaceutical sciences researcher at Universiti Malaya, working at the intersection of toxicology, pharmacology, toxicogenomics, and molecular systems biology.
His doctoral work looks at the toxicological effects of e-cigarette exposure, with a particular focus on reproductive health. He combines molecular, cellular, and systems-level approaches to understand how inhaled toxicants disrupt redox signaling, gene regulation, mitochondrial function, steroidogenic pathways, and the way cells communicate with one another.
His research has explored mitochondrial dysfunction, disruption of Leydig cell steroidogenesis, microRNA-mediated regulation of testosterone signaling, and how secondhand e-cigarette aerosol exposure affects lung health.
Alongside this, he's developing a framework he calls Cellular Signaling as Dynamic Regulatory Circuits, through which he introduced the redoxostat concept in NRF2–KEAP1 biology — reframing well-known signaling pathways as dynamic control systems shaped by temporal signal encoding, phase-separated regulatory states, stress-integration circuits, and the breakdowns in signal resolution that underlie disease.

This review explains that vaping may affect men's sexual health because e-cigarette aerosols can disturb blood vessel function, hormones, inflammation, and other systems involved in erections. However, the current evidence is still early, so stronger long-term studies are needed before we can say whether vaping directly causes erectile dysfunction.
