Research Interests

My research aims to exploring how cellular immune-metabolism regulates obesity and skeletal health. Specifically investigating how chromatin modifications influence the metabolic state of macrophages to adopt a homeostatic or inflammatory role in various diseases, including obesity and inflammatory arthritis. By integrating metabolomics and genomics, my work seeks to elucidate how the epigenetic-metabolic axis regulates macrophage inflammatory functions. This research will provide new insights into how macrophage metabolic states are controlled and could lead to the identification of effective therapeutic targets for inflammatory diseases.
