Research summary
AI-generated

Yu-Kuo Chen studies how natural compounds and food-derived substances can benefit health, with a focus on managing conditions like diabetes, liver disease, and stomach injury. Much of the work tests plant extracts, animal-derived peptides, and other bioactive molecules in laboratory and animal models to understand their effects on metabolism, inflammation, and antioxidant activity. Some projects also explore practical uses such as reducing food waste and controlling spoilage in fruits and vegetables.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
