Welcome to our Laboratory

Our research aims to understand the cellular/molecular mechanisms of obesity and type 2 diabetes, and metabolic pathways in neurodegenerative diseases. Our lab has successfully carved a niche in integrating RNA biology with signaling in biologically relevant systems using gene ontology & Meta data.
