My research focuses on the roles of lipids in immunity and inflammation, particularly phospholipase A2-driven lipid metabolism. I aim to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the maintenance and disruption of tissue homeostasis in response to environmental exposures, with particular emphasis on immune and allergic diseases. I also seek to translate these findings into novel therapeutic strategies and drug development.
