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:
-
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
3. Identifying novel dietary strategies for combating chronodisruption and its related diseases
Research Interests:
Circadian clocks
Systemic inflammation
Neuroinflammation
Neurodegeneration
Functional foods
