Personal profile
Research interests
I am a NIH-funded academic adult endocrinologist who is engaged in clinical/translational research examining the effects of lifestyle interventions for management of obesity, insulin resistance, and prediabetes. Formally trained in clinical research, I have extensive experience conducting in vivo human studies with various interventions (lipid infusion, exercise, diet) and mechanistic physiological measures (U13Cpalmitate to measure lipolysis, 6,6 2H2 glucose during hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp) I am highly interested in the effects of lifestyle changes on insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, body composition and weight.
