Research
Metabolism is an ensemble of biochemical reactions, regulating every single piece of our living. Its dysfunctions are deeply implicated in major diseases, including cancer, diabetes and neurological disorders. Our lab is interested in developing technologies to deepen our understanding of the interplay between metabolic dysfunctions and disease initiation and progression, with a goal of identifying biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
Our research goals are:
i) developing microfluidic systems to determine how our diet affects disease progression, especially cancer,
ii) building bioreactors to investigate how cells reprogram their metabolism under varying metabolic conditions,
iii) developing analytical tools to identify the role of extracellular vesicles in metabolic homeostasis
Our lab principles are:
Own your research; Tell your story; Love your neighbor
