Molecular Nutrition:

  Single-gene and double-gene null mouse models have been used to determine in vivo metabolic roles and the related signaling of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase and copper, zinc-superoxide dismutase in oxidative stress, diabetes, and bone development.......(Enter)

Phytase:

  Using site-directed mutagenesis and directed evolution, we are developing catalytically efficient and heat-stable phytase, an enzyme that can be used to improve phosphorus, calcium, iron, and zinc nutrition animals and to protect environmental pollution of ......(Enter)

Human Nutrition Model:
  Our Lab has also joined a large international collaboration in using agriculture to fight against global micronutrient deficiencies in humans. Young pigs are used as a human model to study impacts of nutrient ......(Enter)
