The role of intracellular lipid metabolism and adipose tissue biology in normal metabolism and disease using basic and translational approaches
The long-term goals of my laboratory are to understand: (1) dietary lipid absorption and chylomicron synthesis, (2) the influence of chylomicrons in metabolic and inflammatory disease. We use mouse and human models to study Cystic Fibrosis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), and atherosclerosis.
GH, insulin-like growth factors and a novel mitochondria-associated peptide on glucose homeostasis, energy metabolism, cardiovascular health and aging
The association between states of over nutrition and resulting metabolic disturbances, most notably obesity, NAFLD, and Type 2 Diabetes
