Research interests
Aging is a big risk factor for many chronic diseases, which are named "Aging-related diseases". Mechanisms that retard aging process generally prevent the onset of aging-related diseases. Our lab is interested in deciphering the metabolic mechanisms of aging and longevity, seeking to identify novel metabolites that regulating animal lifespan and uncover the underlying molecular mechanisms.
