Our research
We are interested in the neurohormonal control of food intake, bodyweight and blood glucose. We want to help develop and implement anti-obesity strategies that make a real-world difference. A key research interest in our lab is how obesity leads to cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Our research focus areas:
- Causes of obesity
- Novel treatments for obesity
- Understanding obesity-associated diseases, diabetes & hypertension
