Our research bridges metabolic physiology, clinical imaging, and data-driven systems biology to uncover tissue-specific metabolic mechanisms and their roles in health and disease.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

By integrating positron emission tomography <\/strong>(PET), computed tomography <\/strong>(CT), and magnetic resonance imaging<\/strong> (MRI) with systemic metabolomics<\/strong>, lipidomics<\/strong>, and transcriptomics<\/strong>, we aim to develop innovative frameworks to unravel inter-organ communication, insulin resistance, adipose tissue biology, and cardiometabolic disorders. A central focus of our research is to transform medical imaging from a snapshot-based approach into a dynamic tool for studying how metabolism functions and changes in real time within the human body.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Obesity<\/strong> and type 2 diabetes <\/strong>are the primary focus of our work, serving as key models to study the mechanisms driving metabolic dysfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We collaborate across disciplines, uniting expertise in imaging sciences, endocrinology, computational biology, and clinical research. Our long-term goal is to contribute to precision medicine by identifying novel imaging biomarkers and mechanistic targets for early diagnosis, treatment stratification, and monitoring of metabolic diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
