I have a broad research interest in the metabolism of lipids, fatty liver related metabolic disorder, both basically and clinically. I also indulge in applying Traditional Chinese Medicine to various liver diseases, and try to explore the potential mechanism. My research has yielded insights into the alcoholic liver disease, Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and related metabolic syndrome.
