Chronic over-nutrition is driving an epidemic of chronic diseases that includes obesity and type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Cellular metabolic reprogramming underpins the pathogenesis of all of these diseases. Our laboratory aims to understand the mechanisms that mediate metabolic reprogramming in these diseases and seeks to leverage this knowledge to develop therapies to combat the chronic disease epidemic.
