Our lab is interested in understanding the molecular pathways that link adipose tissue biology to this staggering array of pathologies such as diabetes and metabolic diseases. These studies can be the scientific basis for developing novel anti-diabetic agents. Followings are our main research topics:
1. Molecular mechanism of regulating systemic glucose and lipid metabolism
2. Regulation of cancer development
3. Development of novel therapeutics for metabolic diseases

Major research field

Obesity, Diabetes, Metabolic Diseases, Inflammation, Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Desired field of research

Metabolic Diseases, Aging, Cancer metabolism, DNA damage repair

Research Keywords and Topics

- Understanding of molecular mechanisms of regulating glucose/lipid metabolism & development of novel therapeutics for metabolic diseases
- Development of novel anti-obesity drugs via browning of white adipocytes
- Understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancer progression & development of novel anti-cancer drugs
