Research

Immunometabolism

Research about the interaction between cells with metabolic function (e.g., adipocyte, picture) and immune cells (e.g., macrophage) in metabolic tissues (e.g., adipose tissue) during obesity and aging

Aging

Discovery of novel factors contributing to aging or protecting against aging (longevity) and research about the underlying mechanism

Genetics

Research about genetic regulation in cells (in vitro) & animal models (in vivo), human genetic variations related to immunometabolism and aging

Drug development

Discovery of drug candidates and development of drugs to treat metabolic and aging-related diseases to enhance healthspan
