Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies metabolism and tissue biology, focusing on how muscle, fat, liver, and gut microbes interact to influence conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and muscle wasting (atrophy). Work spans skeletal muscle repair and regeneration, lipid and cholesterol metabolism, gut microbiota-based therapies, and tissue engineering approaches for musculoskeletal injury. Studies typically use mouse models and combine molecular biology with physiological measurements.
