Our research investigates how metabolic regulation shapes the body’s capacity to regenerate tissues, with a primary focus on the heart and skeletal muscle. We examine how energy metabolism reprogramming influences regenerative capability after injury, and how metabolic alterations associated with obesity and diabetes hinder this process. By integrating animal models with interdisciplinary collaborations, our team aims to identify novel metabolic pathways that can be targeted to develop innovative therapies for heart disease, metabolic disorders, and muscle injuries.
