Research

  • My interest is to understand the cellular dynamics that drive the formation
    of different components of the intervertebral discs during embryonic
    development, and the plasticity of adipose tissue in response to
    environmental changes. We mainly use single cell/nucleus RNA sequencing
    methods combined with genetic lineage tracing to tackle these scientific
    questions. Our findings will innovate the current research frontier in the
    fields of developmental and metabolic biology and inspire the develop of
    novel treatment strategy against spine-related and metabolic disorders.
