Research summary

Pei-Ru Jin's research focuses on how gut bacteria and their metabolic byproducts influence human disease, especially colorectal cancer and liver toxicity. Recent work examines how a bacterium called Fusobacterium nucleatum produces molecules that activate a receptor (AHR) linked to colon cancer cell growth, and how other gut microbial metabolites affect liver drug-processing enzymes and drug-induced liver damage. Earlier work involved designing nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems for treating liver fibrosis and cancer.
