About Project investigator

Personal Profile

I am a Scientist and Assistant Professor with over a decade of experience in metabolomics research. My work investigates metabolic crises in neurodegeneration and metabolic disorders, such as Type 2 diabetes, using advanced metabolomics and lipidomics approaches. We work to delineate the underlying mechanisms of metabolic dysfunction and identify potential biomarkers for early diagnosis. In addition, our team specializes in natural medicine profiling, exploring bioactive compounds and their therapeutic potential in restoring metabolic balance. Through cutting-edge analytical techniques, we bridge the gap between metabolism, disease mechanisms, and natural therapeutics. With expertise in cutting-edge mass spectrometry and data-driven approaches, I aim to unravel biochemical pathways and their implications for health, disease, and natural product research. Furthermore, my research group is dedicated to developing innovative methodologies for fingerprinting, biomarker discovery and precision medicine.
