Conditions linked to lifestyle choices, including obesity, cancer, and metabolic disorders, pose a worldwide threat to human health. Our studies examine how dietary habits influence obesity risks and long-term illnesses like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, heart conditions, and cancer. These multifaceted health issues are challenging to manage, growing more common as inactive routines and high-calorie, low-nutrient eating patterns fuel an obesity epidemic across industrialized nations.

Using advanced molecular and cellular biology methods, we analyze how nutrients impact cell behavior and metabolic processes across different biological scales. Our work explores the connections between nutrition and disease at the microscopic level, seeking to uncover diet-health relationships and create solutions for producing more wholesome, nourishing food options globally.
