I’m focused on understanding how lipid metabolism can safeguard and undermine our health – especially in chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. My drive comes from a deep curiosity about the intricate biochemical pathways that play causal roles in disease onset and progression. By leveraging state-of-the-art high throughput lipidomic profiling, I seek to pinpoint the lipid species and pathways that truly matter for health and longevity.

I’m fascinated by the potential of data-rich biobank-scale resources to reveal new insights into risk prediction and targets for intervention. Working with a dedicated and diverse team, together we’re pioneering advanced statistical and analytical approaches to parse the complex lipid landscapes of human populations. My ultimate ambition is to use these insights to develop strategies — whether preventive, diagnostic, or therapeutic — that can genuinely improve patient outcomes.

Above all, I’m committed to translating my discoveries into real-world solutions. My vision is to propel metabolic research beyond the lab bench, bridging the gap between fundamental science and tangible health benefits for individuals and communities alike.
