Research description
My main project aims at elucidating the liver-adipose tissues crosstalk in non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) in the hope to better understand the diseases and thus facilitate drug testing. I am also working on drug sorption on common polymers used in cell cultures, with the aim to demonstrate that toxicity testing outcome may be severely biased by the choice of culture vessels. Previously, I have worked on sensitive and selective glucose sensor development to dissect insulin contribution on glucose consumption in the human liver.
