Neurohormonal Control of Metabolism

Identify novel regulators of cardiometabolic diseases

Neurohormonal Control of Metabolism

Goals:

  • Understand how the immune, endocrine and nervous systems contribute to metabolic health.

  • Understand how dysregulation of these systems in obesity, diabetes and ageing contribute to the development of cardiometabolic diseases.

  • To leverage this knowledge for improved strategies to prevent and treat cardiometabolic diseases.
