Research profile
I have worked exclusively with epigenetic regulation on mammalian development and diseases, using cutting-edge next-generation sequencing based multi-omics (genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, metagenomics, etc) technologies and bioinformatics tools. For the past five years, the main focused area has been to how diet and microbiota in early life influence organ function and pathology via epigenetic mechanisms. Together with colleagues in the Comparative Pediatrics and Nutrition, we have studied the gastrointestinal-, liver-, brain-, immune-, and circulatory systems using specialized pig models to reflect human disease in early life.
Three aspects were focused: 1) development of novel next-generation sequencing based technologies and bioinformatic tools; 2) profiling of epigenomic landscape of development and disease states of mammas; and 3) epigenetic effects of the environmental factors (e.g. nutrients, microbes, oxygen) on mammalian development and diseases.
