Self-introduction
Our group focuses on researching natural products and their applications in agricultural and human health protections, specifically in preventing chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and cancer. In addition, we conduct metabolomic studies to decode the reaction mechanisms of crop varieties under various weather and environmental pressures
