Salt and hypertension, mechanism and therapeutics by molecular biological and physiological approach.Genetic analysis of nutrition-behavior and the pathophysiological association of nutrition with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Exploring novel natural substances promoting health are also within my scope of investigation. Nutrition and epigenetic mechanism for adult metabolic diseases. He is very interested in the role of salt during gestation in offspring health.
