Research Interest Description:
My research focuses on dissecting neuro–visceral circuits and sympathetic regulation of metabolic diseases, particularly through the GDF15–GFRAL axis and organ-specific autonomic pathways. I also integrate multi-omics, viral tracing, and real-world clinical data to identify mechanisms and predictors of metabolic dysregulation, therapeutic response, and disease progression.
