I am a biomedical scientist specializing in endocrinology, metabolism, and toxicology, with a focus on how immune system dynamics shape metabolic health and disease. My multidisciplinary training integrates toxicology, immunology, and environmental health sciences to investigate the crosstalk between immune pathways and metabolic organs. I study how hormonal regulation and metabolic signaling interact with immune activity, emphasizing the role of inflammation in obesity, bone health, and metabolic syndrome, and how these interactions influence disease progression and co-morbidities. My toxicology research examines chronic, low-dose exposures to endocrine-disrupting chemicals and heavy metals, revealing how they perturb immune responses, promote inflammation, and accelerate metabolic dysfunction. Using in vivo and in vitro models, I define signaling pathways, transcriptional changes, and immune-mediated mechanisms driving endocrine and metabolic disorders. A central focus is the bidirectional communication between the immune system and endocrine tissues such as adipose, liver, and bone, with the goal of identifying therapeutic targets to restore metabolic homeostasis. My long-term objective is to translate mechanistic insights into preventive and therapeutic strategies that mitigate the combined effects of environmental exposures and immune dysregulation, ultimately improving outcomes for patients with endocrine and metabolic diseases.
