• Collaborations: Active in the Caswell Diabetes Institute at the University of Michigan.

Their recent publications highlight OPN-mediated crosstalk between hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells in MASH progression (Adv Sci, 2024), suppression of ChREBP⍺-CYP2C50 axis in diet-induced liver disease (Molecular Metabolism, 2024), and mechanisms linking Ddb1 deficiency to impaired BAT thermogenesis and NAFLD (Proceedings, 2023). Presentations include work on noncanonical ChREBP∝ functions in liver fibrosis (2024). No scientific awards or student mentoring lists were explicitly mentioned in the provided text.
