Research Areas:
“Immuno-metabolism” is an emerging field, in which the molecular and functional linkages among metabolism, immunity, and human immunological disease are just beginning to be explored. Consequently, there are many untapped opportunities to apply our growing understanding of immuno-metabolism to disease diagnosis and treatment. In my lab, we plan to study both genetically-altered mouse models and human patient samples to unravel how metabolic dysregulation contributes to human immunological diseases such as lymphoma, primary immunodeficiency (PID), and inflammatory disease. Ultimately, I hope that our work will identify new targets for precision medicine directed against these and other genetic metabolic disorders.
