Genetic and neurological basis of body weight control
The Good laboratory studies the genetic and neurological basis of body weight control and exercise motivation, using genetically modified mice, cell lines, and in silico genomic analysis. Understanding the roles of genetic and genomic loci that influence these phenotypes in humans and animals has the potential to revolutionize health care and disease detection.
