Her doctoral studies focused on investigating the mechanism of action by which the pharmacological agent BT2 confers protection from heart failure and metabolic disease in mice. Her findings resulted in a publication titled &#8220;The BCKDK inhibitor BT2 is a chemical uncoupler that lowers mitochondrial ROS production and de novo lipogenesis&#8221;. Her postdoctoral research project aims to determine the effects of arginine methylation of PGC-1alpha by PRMTs in the context of cold- and diet-induced thermogenesis.
