RESEARCH FIELD
I am focusing on the marine functional lipids (such as cerebrosides and phospholipids) for prevention of nutrition-related diseases, such as cancer, canxer-associated cachexia, and neurodegenerative diseases. And I am also interested in the molecular mechanisms in pathogenesis of those diseases.
