Bio

The two major research projects of our lab are on (1) understanding how lifespan of cells can be preserved or extended by intracellular triacylglycerol, and (2) discovering the first therapeutic compound for Alzheimer’s disease. These two projects are supported by grants from the National Science foundation and the National Institute on Aging, NIH, respectively.
