Welcome to Sun Lab

The Sun Lab at the University of Arkansas investigates the molecular and physicochemical foundations of cellular metabolism. We combine biochemical, structural, cellular, and physiological approaches to understand how proteins and metabolites regulate mitochondrial function and influence cellular and systemic metabolic health.

Located in Fayetteville, the University of Arkansas is the state’s flagship institution and a hub for cutting-edge research and innovation. As part of its vibrant scientific community, the Sun Lab is committed to fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and intellectually curious environment. We welcome researchers from diverse backgrounds and support rigorous, curiosity-driven science that advances both fundamental understanding and translational impact.
