BIO

My group studies how changes in the body’s metabolism affect health and disease. We focus on the role of an enzyme, called AMP-activated protein kinase, that has a key function in regulating metabolism. Dysregulation of energy metabolism occurs in a wide range of human diseases, including obesity and cancer, and we are particularly interested in determining the efficacy of AMPK activation for the treatment of these diseases.
