Our research in nutrition, metabolism, obesity, and diabetes examines the intricate relationships between these areas. We develop effective interventions to combat obesity and diabetes, improving metabolic health and overall well-being.
Research emphases span multiple specialties, and include:
- Cellular stress resistance links in epigenetics and metabolism
- Genomics to therapy as illustrated by neuropathy caused by sorbitol dehydrogenase deficiency
- Adipokine signaling and diet as therapeutically targetable metabolic regulators in clear cell renal cell carcinoma
- Targeting metabolic dysfunction in prostate cancer
- Digital lifestyle interventions to prevent obesity among Hispanic adolescents
- Leveraging smart phones to collect patient-generated behavioral data
- Metabolic targeting of TET enzymes for the prevention of blood-related diseases
- Metabolic syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea
- Research within the section of metabolic and bariatric surgery
- Narrowing down GLP-1/GIP-RAs adipose tissue targets
