研究方向
我的研究关注代谢综合征的生理与分子机制。代谢综合征是一种高发状态,涵盖肥胖、MASLD、糖尿病及心血管并发症等多种疾病。我目前的项目重点研究巨噬细胞——参与代谢综合征进展的重要免疫细胞。这些细胞参与炎症、纤维化、代谢失调和组织再生等疾病过程。我正在研究巨噬细胞如何感知过量脂质、如何进行代谢适应,以及如何通过治疗干预靶向这些过程来治疗代谢综合征。
背景与经历
2014—2018 年,我在瓦伦西亚大学学习生物化学与生物医学科学,随后于 2019—2024 年在该校获得 FPU 资助并完成博士学位。博士期间,我于 2022 年在 EMBO 支持下赴剑桥大学实习。我的博士论文研究不同治疗方法对代谢功能障碍相关脂肪性肝病(MASLD)小鼠模型的影响,发现了这些药物之间的共同作用模式,有助于更深入地理解其作用机制,并识别潜在治疗靶点和疾病生物标志物。2024 年,我以 Research Associate 身份加入代谢科学研究所 Antonio Vidal-Puig 教授的实验室(TVP Lab),并任职至今。
