Jiangjiang Zhu studies the molecular biology of fat formation and deposition in goats, particularly how genes, microRNAs, and signaling pathways control the differentiation of fat-storing cells (adipocytes) in muscle and under the skin. This work aims to understand and potentially improve meat quality traits like intramuscular fat content in livestock. The research combines gene expression profiling, cell culture experiments, and pathway analysis to identify regulators of lipid (fat) metabolism.
