Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies pancreatic diseases, including chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (a common and aggressive form of pancreatic cancer), with particular attention to how obesity, metabolism, and the tissue environment surrounding tumors influence disease progression. Work spans basic laboratory research, biomarker discovery (such as urine and blood-based tests for diagnosis and risk prediction), and clinical studies, including trials testing treatments for chronic pancreatitis. The lab also investigates cancer-related muscle wasting, occupational cancer risk patterns, and molecular pathways linking precancerous pancreatic lesions to cancer.
