Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Renny S. Lan's research program investigates host-microbiome interactions and metabolic pathways, with a particular focus on the gastrointestinal microbiome and its influence on health and disease. Lan's work utilizes advanced analytical techniques, including tandem mass spectrometry, to conduct untargeted metabolomics studies. Current projects examine how maternal obesity impacts infant gut microbiome development and how exercise training influences xenometabolites in both lean and obese adults. Previously, Lan has investigated the role of iron uptake in bone mass regulation in mice and the critical function of the diadenylate cyclase CdaA in bacterial virulence. Collaborations include numerous publications with Ping-Ching Hsu, Lindsay Pack, Brian D. Piccolo, and Samuel G. Mackintosh at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Lan has published 54 papers with an h-index of 13 and 881 citations.
