Personal profile

Research

Maintained adipocyte function is essential for whole body energy and glucose homeostasis, and obesity is one of the main risk factors driving insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Still, the molecular mechanisms causing adipocyte dysfunction and insulin resistance remain unknown. Overall, I am interested in the factors behind adipocyte disfunction, specifically on insulin signalling and glucose transport in mature adipocytes. My research involves experimental cell biology methods and advanced microscopy techniques at the single cell level.
