Adipocyte Biology · Metabolism · Disease
We study the adipocyte as a driver of metabolic health and disease.
We investigate how adipocytes sense nutrients, remodel their mitochondria, respond to thermogenic signals, and become metabolically dysfunctional in disease.
We use the adipocyte as a lens for understanding why metabolic tissues adapt, fail to adapt, and respond differently in disease.
Science in Action
Mechanistic experiments. Real biological questions.
We combine primary adipocyte models, molecular assays, metabolic phenotyping, live-cell analysis, and discovery platforms to move from observation to mechanism.
