We are interested in fundamental and translational aspects of lipid metabolism in nutrition-related chronic diseases. In particular, how dietary (intestinal) derived lipids and their metabolism contribute to, or alleviate pathways that cause cardiovascular etiology.

We are keen to appreciate how the etiology of early obesity, insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes accelerates CVD complications and influence lipid homeostasis. Our dynamic and vibrant group fosters a supportive research environment for staff/trainees in order to build capacity and facilitate unique inter-disciplinary scientific training.

2. SUN-252 Cardiovascular Disease In Adolescents and Young Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Atherogenic Dyslipidemia, Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and Cardiac Function

3. Female ethanolamine phosphate phospholyase knockout mice resisted high-fat diet-induced obesity with attenuated hepatic cholesterol deposition 

4. Association between enteral essential fatty acids and plasma phospholipid essential fatty acids related immune response in critically ill adults with COVID‐19: A prospective cohort study
