Investigates the genetics of metabolic syndrome and ciliopathies.
Our research seeks to identify new metabolic syndrome (obesity and type 2 diabetes) mutations and their genetic modifiers and to determine how the underlying mutations cause the disease phenotype. We also investigate ciliopathies, diseases caused by impaired ciliary function that combine aspects of metabolic syndrome with sensory loss.
