    Research Overview

    Our laboratory investigates the mechanisms that regulate nutrient and energy metabolism in cells, tissues, and organisms.
    We focus on elucidating how the metabolic properties of tissues are specified during development and reprogrammed in disease, dissecting the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of metabolic regulation, and discovering novel secreted factors in systemic metabolic crosstalk.
