Research Interest
In recent years, the metabolic regulation of cells has been linked closely to human diseases, and the sirtuins family of sirtuins has been shown to be an important pathway in the regulation of aging-related diseases. We use biochemistry, cell biology, proteomics and other research tools to explore these mechanisms on cell and mouse overall level of aging diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart failure, in order to find new and efficient prevention and treatment of metabolic related Ways to disease. In the past five years, a total of 10 high-quality research papers were published and cited for 1,509 times. Among them, the first author (including juxtaposed one) has published 4 articles, including Cell, Molecular Cell and JBC, and cited 439 times.
