基金种类　基金项目名称
国家科技部重点研发计划2018YFA0801100发育编程及其代谢调节

国家自然科学基金31301217脂肪酸代谢调节重编程的研究

研究领域

本课题组专注于生理稳态的免疫和代谢调控。由于免疫和代谢涉及几乎所有的核心生理稳态调控，所以其调控紊乱是自身免疫、肥胖、不孕不育、肿瘤、心血管和老年痴呆等多种复杂疾病的重要原因。本课题组希望从分子机制角度解释免疫和代谢紊乱导致的复杂疾病的症状，并探寻疾病临床治疗靶点和方法。围绕着生理稳态的免疫和代谢调控本课题组开展了以下三方面的研究内容：
(一) 固有免疫中细胞焦亡与相关自身疾病（脓毒症、矽肺、哮喘和银屑病等）的发病机制研究和治疗方法开发
(二) 机体代谢紊乱（肥胖）的调控机制研究与相应减肥疗法的开发
(三) 基于肠道菌群人源化小鼠模型研究炎症性肠病和结肠癌的发病机制和治疗方法""
