Molecular pharmacology of obesity and healthy aging is in the center of my research. Modulation of obesity mechanisms through bioactive phytochemicals is investigated using in vitro models of human adipocytes and in vivo - C. elegans. More specifically, I am interested in studying the effects of pharmacological modulation through natural compounds of the transcription factors Nrf2, PPARs, the AMPK/SIRT and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathways.
