Statement of Research Interest
Our lab focuses on Genetic diseases involved in inborn errors of metabolism affecting post-developmental liver disorders. We have identified 19 novel zebrafish mutants showing post-developmental liver defects such as NAFLD, hepatomegaly or hepatic necrosis via forward genetic screening. These mutants will be used to understand mechanism of disease progression and to identify novel therapeutic small molecules.
