Primary Appointment
Assistant Professor, Kinesiology
Research Disciplines
Kinesiology, Physiology
Research Interests
Pathophysiology and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes
Research Description
We are currently working on:
1. Tailoring exercise prescription to prevent the progression from prediabetes to type 2
diabetes in children and adults.
2. Examining how to incorporate physical activity and dietary modification to enhance the efficacy and durability of bariatric surgery on appetite and glucose regulation.
3. Determining how lifestyle modification and bariatric surgery interacts with pharmacology to regulate body weight and cardiometabolic health.
4. Gain mechanistic understanding into energy metabolism and endocrine-related inflammation by which lifestyle modification and bariatric surgery improves metabolic fitness.
