Research Interests

Obesity is a major risk factor for metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease and cancers. The number of patients with metabolic diseases rapidly increasing and is reaching the levels of infectious diseases.Our lab is interested in understanding the molecular pathways that link adipose tissue biology to this staggering array of pathologies such as diabetes and metabolic diseases. These studies can be the scientific basis for developing novel anti-diabetic agents.
