A lab of undergraduate and masters students, our research centers on the NRF2 transcription factor, a primary way in which our bodies sense and recover from environmental and internal stressors. Activation of NRF2 through diet, exercise, supplementation, and pharmacological intervention is a promising means of combating a wide range of chronic diseases, including asthma, cancer, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and many more. For example, there are over 90 clinical trials on the use of a potent NRF2 activator found in high concentrations in broccoli sprouts, sulforaphane, to treat these conditions and others.
