Research Overview My research focuses on multi-omics approach to study food related research: (1) Biological mechanism of production of edible bird's nest in swiftlets and the efficacies of edible bird's nest; (2) Biological mechanism of production of paralytic shellfish toxins in harmful algae; (3) Toxicity of chronic exposure to methylmercury
