RESEARCH FOCUS
Our research interest is to decipher the molecular mechanisms linking nutritional signalling (e.g. high-fat and high-carbohydrate diet) with the onset of chronic metabolic disease, including insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cardiovascular disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Our long term goal is to apply multidisciplinary approaches (e.g. Crispr/cas9 and gene sequencing) that interface lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and gut microbiome to identify pharmaceutical targets and functional foods that may land supports for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome.
RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES
In addition to our ongoing research program, we are interested in working with bioinformatics scientists, at all career stages, to resolve questions in gene sequencing profiles. We welcome applications from prospective PhD students who are interested in our work.
