Welcome!

Dr. Cheng's lab is interested in developing novel dietary strategies for treating neuroinflammation, chronodisruption (e.g. shift-work/ jet lag) and its related diseases.

Focuses of Our Research:

  1. Studying the molecular mechanisms and effects of systemic inflammation on neuroinflammation and its interplay with circadian rhythms

2. Developing novel dietary strategies for treating/preventing neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases
