STEM CELLS & METABOLISM

Investigating the biological crossroads that drive innovation

What we Study

Understanding how changes in metabolism influence the fundamental behaviors of stem cells, such as maintenance, differentiation, and proliferation. Our primary focus lies in lipid metabolism and its intricate interactions with signaling pathways within stem cell niches.​

​By examining how these metabolic processes shape the microenvironments that stem cells rely on, we aim to uncover the mechanisms that regulate cellular balance and function. This research holds significant potential for advancing our understanding of tissue regeneration, aging, and metabolic diseases.
