Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Renny Shang-Lun Lan's research focuses on the application of metabolomics and mass spectrometry to investigate biological processes and disease mechanisms. He has explored metabolic reprogramming in mantle cell lymphoma, examining how it influences oxidative phosphorylation and presents a potential therapeutic target. His work also includes the development and refinement of analytical techniques, such as a scoping review on current practices in LC-MS untargeted metabolomics, specifically regarding the use of pooled quality control samples. Lan has investigated the role of iron uptake regulated by transferrin receptor 1 in bone mass maintenance in mice, particularly its impact on osteoclast mitochondria and cytoskeleton. Additionally, his research has examined the effects of glutathione peroxidase-1 overexpression on oxidative stress and kidney pathology in aged mice, as well as metabolomic profiles in cigarette smokers and the associations between maternal obesity and offspring gut microbiome.
