Areas of Research

Research Area 1: 
  • Mechanism of CYP2J2 epoxygenase enzyme involved in metabolism of omega-3 fatty acids to generate anti-inflammatory cardioprotective lipid metabolites.
  • Mechanism of cardiotoxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs mediated by CYP2J2 epoxygenase.
Research Area 2: 
  • Endocannabinoid metabolism by CYP epoxygenases to generate novel anti-inflammatory endocannabinoid epoxide derivatives that bind to cannabinoid receptors.
Research Area 3: 
  • Role of Anti-inflammatory lipid metabolites in bone cancer pain in canine Osteosarcoma (collaborator: Prof. Timothy Fan)
Research Area 4: 
  • Transcriptional control of the anti-inflammatory response of lipid epoxides in macrophages (collaborator: Prof. Saurabh Sinha).
