Research Interests
My research goal is to identity new targets for therapeutic intervention for liver injury and fibrosis, with a focus on NAFLD and cholestatic liver diseases. Given the emerging understanding of the importance of endoplasmic reticulum stress in a variety of liver diseases, I am particularly interested in the role of the unfolded protein response (UPR), an ER stress-induced adaptive response, in liver injury and fibrogenesis.
