Ziqiao Sun is an accomplished researcher with a strong focus on the unorthodox roles of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) in lipid and fatty acid metabolism. His groundbreaking investigations have revealed dysregulated lipid and fatty acid metabolism in mice overexpressing GPX1 or deficient in GPX1, providing crucial insights into the intricate regulatory pathways involved. In addition to his exceptional research accomplishments, Ziqiao Sun possesses advanced programming skills that have played a pivotal role in data analysis and computational modeling. His expertise in developing sophisticated experimental techniques has enabled the comprehensive analysis of fatty acid profiles, gene expression patterns, protein-protein interactions, and transcriptional and translational regulations. Driven by a relentless curiosity and a commitment to excellence, Ziqiao Sun continues to push the boundaries of scientific inquiry in the field of GPX1 and SOD1. His ultimate goal is to harness his extensive knowledge and skills to advance our understanding of these crucial enzymes and contribute to the development of novel therapeutic interventions targeting GPX1 and SOD1-related diseases.
