Major Responsibilities/Research Interests 

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are among the most prevalent chronic diseases and their incidence is increasing as developing countries adopt “westernized” lifestyles. We study the effects of various diets, foods and food derivatives on overall metabolism, insulin secretion and signaling pathways. We also are interested in developing, implementing and evaluating lifestyle programs for people living with diabetes. Please note: I am not accepting any new personnel.
