Research

Major Responsibilities/Research Interests 

The central goal of my research program is to improve protein sustainability and human health through 3 distinctive yet interrelated research fields:

  • Bioactive peptides, with the ultimate goal to develop food-derived bioactive peptides for the prevention and mitigation of oxidation, inflammation, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and osteoporosis. 
  • Egg science and technology, with the aim to strengthen the profitability of the growing egg industry through advancing the knowledge of egg for health and improvement of egg uses.
  • Protein sustainability, to upcycle/reclaim food proteins from agriculture co-products for new applications.
