Research Interests
My research focuses on using environmental and genetic approaches to manipulate the hypothalamus in order to elucidate the hypothalamic mechanisms involved in various diseases/disorders such as obesity, cancer, and aging.
Current Projects
- Examining metabolic and behavioral outcomes following hypothalamic overexpression of TrkB.FL in a BTBR murine model of autism spectrum disorder.
- Using gene transfer of FGF21 in aged mice to determine whether FGF21 can improve aging-related metabolic decline.
- Investigating hypothalamic neuron-microglia crosstalk/signaling in mice using various genetic approaches.
