Our research interests cover the nutritional microenvironment in tumor development and drug response, metabolism and epigenetics, and protein phosphatase regulation in diabetes and obesity. Our ultimate goal is to use metabolites or nutrients to improve cancer therapeutic response and help other metabolic diseases.
