I have published more than 60 peer-reviewed papers in high-impact journals, authored several book chapters, and secured over AUD 1.5 million in competitive and industry research funding. My research integrates molecular, clinical, and translational approaches, focusing on oxidative stress, immunometabolism, and nutritional supplementation.
