- Research Interests: Exercise and immunity, gut-brain axis, probiotic interventions, age-related physical and cognitive decline prevention.
Her research highlights the synergistic effects of exercise and probiotics in mitigating age-related health decline. Articles emphasize mechanisms linking microbiome, exercise, and aging, with studies on angiotensin (1-7)-expressing probiotics, HIIT training, and pharmacological agents. Collaborative work spans multiple disciplines, including microbiology, pharmacology, and neuroscience.
Notable trends in her publications include investigating probiotic-based therapies, the role of exercise in immunity and inflammation, and leveraging rodent models to explore translational interventions for human aging. Dr. Sun’s work often bridges basic science and clinical applications, aiming to translate findings into practical health solutions for older adults.
