Research Interests

The research interest of our group focuses on the interaction between the immune system and metabolism in the context such as  metabolic diseases (T2D etc.) where immune cells modulate metabolic tissue inflammation and whole-body metabolism, and immune cells development where cell-intrinsic metabolic programs control the fate and function of immune cells.  Our current research directions include:  1.To define the immune mechanisms of obesity-induced insulin resistance; 2. To decipher the metabolic programs that control Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC) development and function.
