ABOUT US

Our laboratory studies changes in oxygen, metabolic waste products and nutrients from both systemic and cellular perspectives in the GI tract. Our interests lie in understanding how these factors coordinate proliferation and cell death during development, maintain functional tissues/organs, and how dysregulation culminate in disease. Our goal is to provide fundamental insights into how oxygen, metabolic waste products and nutrients are integrated into tissue and cellular metabolic homeostasis, and to understand precise mechanisms by which cellular dysregulation of these pathways impacts anemia, hemochromatosis, inflammation and cancer.
