We are interested in understanding the molecular pathophysiology of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. We work to identify attractive therapeutic targets and develop novel approaches for therapeutic intervention. Much of our work, has as an underpinning, the neurobiological basis of metabolic disease.
