Research Summary
My current research is focused on the role of taste signaling proteins in gut. Combining cellular, physiological and pharmacological methods, this research may provide significant insights into how enteroendocrine cells sense micronutrients and tastants and regulation of these taste signaling elements in gut may have a potential therapeutic effect for metabolic disease.
