معرفی
Andrea Chan is a Research Fellow at Monash University, affiliated with the Drug Delivery, Disposition & Dynamics research group. Her work focuses on metabolic regulation, particularly in the context of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and nutrient signaling pathways.
Her research explores the metabolic actions of glucagon, hepatic amino acid catabolism, and the role of FGF21 in mediating physiological responses to dietary protein and amino acid restriction. Using advanced techniques such as phosphoproteomics and mouse models of metabolic disease, she investigates inter-organ communication between liver, muscle, and endocrine systems.
The recent publications highlight a strong trend in understanding how nutrient availability—especially essential amino acids—modulates systemic metabolism through hormonal signals like FGF21 and glucagon. Her work bridges molecular signaling with whole-body physiology, contributing to novel insights in metabolic disease mechanisms.
