Diabetes/Metabolism

This group is interested in understanding the tissue-specific roles of hormones,  neurotransmitters an other molecules in modulating whole animal physiology and pathophysiology, such as diabetes.

These MPB faculty are also active participants in the Diabetes Center, the Digestive Disease Research Center, the Institute for Obesity and Metabolism and the Center for Stem Cell Biology. The department is also the institutional home for the Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Center
