Jiandie Lin Lab

We investigate the mechanisms that regulate nutrient and energy metabolism, and how they become reprogrammed in obesity and metabolic diseases.

Our Research

Our research centers on the fundamental biology of tissue and organismal metabolism, the discovery of novel endocrine hormones, and the role of the immune and stromal microenvironment in shaping metabolic disease progression and liver regeneration.
