Research summary

Weicang Wang studies how fats and fat-derived signaling molecules (lipids and eicosanoids) affect inflammation and disease, particularly in the gut, liver, heart, and colon cancer. A major focus is an enzyme called soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), which breaks down beneficial fatty-acid metabolites, and how blocking it might reduce inflammation, improve immunotherapy outcomes, and protect organs from injury. The work also examines how gut bacteria influence liver and colon health through these same lipid pathways.
