Skeletal and Extra-skeletal functions of Vitamin D: Our department focusses on the
various roles of vitamin D in the body, including its classical function in bone health and
calcium homeostasis, as well as non-classical functions in tissues such as muscle, heart,
adipose and brain. We are also studying the efficacy of vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol)
versus vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) in achieving optimal serum levels and health
outcomes.
-
Diet and cancer: Our research also focusses on the relationships between diet and
cancer prevention, and progression. A key area of our work has been exploring the
potential anticancer properties of dietary ingredients in the prevention and treatment of
breast and prostate cancer using in vivo and in vitro model systems.
-
Obesity and intermittent fasting: Our current research also focusses on the effects of
intermittent fasting on adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) using a rat
model. This research seeks to deepen our understanding of how intermittent fasting affects
adipose tissue at the cellular level, potentially leading to more effective obesity
management strategies.
-
Obesity and cancer: Another area of interest is the analysis of the complex
relationship between obesity and cancer, which has just been initiated.
