Biography
We focus on understanding the metabolic activities that drive both physiological processes and pathological conditions. Our research centers on two critical areas: one-carbon metabolism and triglyceride mobilization. By employing diverse research models, including biochemical assays, cell cultures, and genetically modified animals, we explore novel aspects of enzymatic function and metabolic signaling regulation within these fundamental pathways. Combining biochemistry, cell biology, and mouse genetics, our work aims to uncover mechanisms underlying human diseases, such as cancer and metabolic disorders, and to inform the development of innovative therapeutic interventions.
