Bio
TAK1 (MAP3K7) lab mediates inflammation leading to many age-related chronic inflammatory diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases. Environmental stressors, pathogens, as well as metabolic changes are potential activator of TAK1. We are working on the mechanisms of TAK1 activation, and exploring the possibility of targeting TAK in chronic inflammatory diseases.
