My research explores how the liver and adipose tissue interact in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and other chronic liver diseases. I investigate how these interactions influence disease development and progression, and how they differ between females and males, with the goal of improving understanding and supporting more tailored prevention and treatment.
As an Assistant Professor, I teach and mentor students, conduct and publish research, and contribute to the academic community. My responsibilities include developing courses, supervising student projects, collaborating with colleagues, applying for research funding, and sharing research findings through presentations and publications.
My primary area of responsibility is teaching and research in liver disease, including MASLD, the interaction between the liver and adipose tissue in chronic liver disease, and differences between females and males. I also contribute to student supervision, course development, research collaboration, and communicating research findings through presentations and publications.
