Dr Sun's research program investigates how metabolic reprogramming and cellular senescence drive fibrosis progression in metabolic liver disease (MASLD), utilizing spatial transcriptomics to map genomic signatures at tissue level. Her work on "Building tools to predict how the genome controls cells" develops computational frameworks for deciphering regulatory networks in cellular processes, with implications for therapeutic targeting in fibrotic diseases. Current efforts integrate multi-omics approaches to understand disease mechanisms at single-cell resolution.
Analysis of her 2025 publication reveals a methodological shift toward spatially resolved transcriptomics in human disease models, moving beyond bulk sequencing to capture microenvironmental heterogeneity in fibrosis progression. This approach connects genomic regulation with tissue-level pathology across metabolic disorders.
Dr Sun actively participates in the Institute for Molecular Bioscience's collaborative ecosystem and is available for research supervision in molecular bioscience and genomics, contributing to training the next generation of researchers in advanced genomic techniques.
