My research program investigates how one-carbon metabolism regulates susceptibility to metabolic disease, with a central focus on how dietary factors govern obesity pathogenesis. I also interrogate how metabolic heterogeneity shapes responsiveness to dietary and pharmacological interventions, including GLP-1 receptor agonists. By integrating multi-omics with metabolic phenotyping in preclinical models and human cohorts, I aim to define nutrient-driven mechanisms of energy balance and translate them into precision nutrition strategies for metabolic disease.
