Clinical Obesity, Nutrition and Adipose Biology Lab
- how metabolism (blood glucose, blood fats, inflammation and other biomarkers) impact ageing, cognition and the brain, in people with diabetes and obesity, but also in older people without these conditions.
- the MetMemory Study. This study examines whether a commonly prescribed diabetes medication may prevent cognitive decline and brain ageing in older people.
- the impact of diabetes and obesity on epigenetic programming. That is, altering the expression of our genetic code.
- the gut microbiome in type 1 diabetes and the impact of nutritional interventions.
