The overall aim of my research is to
investigate the development and treatment of
metabolic diseases associated with excess
nutritional lipid intake and/or physical inactivity.
I am particularly focused on elucidating the
cellular mechanisms controlling skeletal muscle
glucose and lipid metabolism and how impairments in
these mechanisms contribute to insulin resistance in
conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and aging. I
use a combination of human, animal, and cell culture
models to identify cellular mechanisms that
contribute to skeletal muscle insulin resistance and
use interventions such as exercise and diet
modification to help correct cellular impairments. |
