Nutrient Metabolism in Health and Disease

BNORC members in this group employ animal (diet-induced obese, transgenic and knockout) and cell culture models, and engage in clinical/translational studies to:

understand how nutrient metabolism is regulated at cell, tissue and organismic levels (special focus on nutrient signaling in white and brown adipose tissues)
elucidate how abnormalities in these processes translate into risk for metabolic disease (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular, cancer)
translate this knowledge into opportunities for the development of preventive and therapeutic interventions
