Cracking the code behind obesity | Baker Institute

Описание: When it comes to the rising global challenge of obesity-related diseases, Professor Brian Drew is at the forefront of finding real solutions.

As Head of the Molecular Metabolism and Ageing laboratory at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, Professor Drew leads a team of researchers investigating how our cells and tissues regulate energy. Their work could have enormous implications for treating obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

“We are looking deep inside the cell to understand what goes wrong in metabolic diseases, and more importantly, how we can fix it.”

His research focuses on how disruptions in energy metabolism contribute to obesity-related health complications. By using revolutionary technology, including CRISPR gene editing tools, his lab is uncovering new therapeutic pathways to reverse or prevent these conditions.
