Why some overweight individuals develop diseases while others do not are not fully understood.
Our lab aims to identify the regional and long-term effects of obesity, from the cell to the entire body. We combine techniques in biology, physiology and nutrition to study the effects of obesity that contribute to weight gain and disease.
We hope our results will promote the development of better public health interventions from disease prevention to management.
