Our research mission covers both basic and translational aspects of nutritional genomics. The scope spans from the fundamental mechanisms of antioxidant nutrients and enzymes in metabolism and pathogenesis of chronic diseases, to the development of novel hydrolytic enzymes and alternative feed protein sources. We are actively involved in the global biofortification of staple crops with the micronutrients iron, zinc, and pro-vitamin A. Our experimental models include food-producing species pigs and chickens, laboratory species rats and gene-knockout mice, primary and cultured cells, yeast, and bacteria, while our approaches consist of nutritional, molecular, biochemical, biophysical, and physiological methods, along with cutting-edge genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics. Our findings aim at directly improving human health, food security, and environmental sustainability worldwide.
I teach Animal Science 3980: Animals in Biomedical Research. This course introduces features and applications of various animal models for biomedical research on human health and diseases. Emphasis is placed on appropriate animal models for studying human development, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, hereditary diseases, and nutritional deficiencies. I have also taught a graduate course of Advanced Mineral Nutrition including minerals in metabolism, gene expression, chronic disease, food supplementation, and biofortification and an introductory course of Animal Science and Society. Every semester, my laboratory hosts 5-8 undergraduate students majoring in animal science, biology, nutrition and other fields to conduct independent and honors thesis research. These students are not only involved in performing complete research projects, but also in applying for grants, writing papers, and presenting findings at national and professional meetings.
