Extensive Research Description
Dr. Chen’s research focuses on understanding the mechanistic functions of redox homeostasis and antioxidant deficiencies in human diseases associated with environmental and dietary stress. Reduced GSH is the most abundant thiol antioxidant that combats excessive oxidants generated during cellular metabolism or in response to environmental assaults. GSH deficiency has been associated with numerous pathological conditions in human. Dr. Chen’s research work involves the use of unique redox animal models and system biology approach to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying liver diseases and neurological disorders.
Specific research projects include:
- Redox-mediated mechanisms in protection against alcohol-associated fatty liver disease
- The mechanistic role of oxidative stress in water contaminant 1,4-dioxane-induced liver cytotoxicity and genotoxicity
- The functional interplay between two antioxidants (glutathione and ascorbate) in the central nervous system
