Research Interests

Our primary interest is to investigate the role of insulin resistance as an underlying cause of chronic disease, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, asthma, and chronic kidney failure. We employ lifestyle, pharmacological, and surgical interventions to identify key regulatory pathways associated with disease progression, with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets capable of altering the treatment and management of chronic conditions.
