Research Labs
-
The Aggarwal Lab evaluates the risk of cardiovascular disease and sleep patterns in a diverse population of women in various life stages
-
Dr. Area-Gomez's lab is currently researching how C99 contributes to the regulation of lipid homeostasis, and how the alteration in the level of C99 in MAMs plays a role in the pathogenesis of AD.
-
The Bauer Lab uses a mix of molecular biology, animal physiology, and functional genomics to translate human genetics studies into actionable biological mechanisms.
-
Dr. Chang’s research is focused on understanding how bioactive lipid mediators modulate innate immune cell biology
-
Dr. Diano’s research focuses on intracellular nutrient sensing mechanisms in brain cells regulating energy and glucose metabolism, and how their derangement promotes development of metabolic disorders
-
The Embree Lab conducts cutting edge biomedical research in the field of regenerative medicine with the goal of translating science into clinical practice
-
Work in Dr. Ferrante's laboratory currently focuses on identifying the ontogeny of sub-populations of macrophages and their specific roles.
-
Haeusler Lab's research goals are to understand the development of proatherogenic metabolic abnormalities in insulin resistant individuals, and to identify new therapeutic targets for improving these.
-
The Margolis Lab studies the effects of neurotransmitters and inflammation on enteric nervous system development and function
-
The Pajvani Lab's research interests intersect the diverse fields of development, metabolism and cancer biology, by study of the Notch signaling pathway.
-
Dr. Pon's lab studies the mechanism underlying the processes described below, how they affect lifespan and change as yeast cells age, and whether modulation of those processes can extend lifespan.
-
The Reilly Group at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center is dedicated to translational and genomic studies of human cardiometabolic disorders.
-
Dr. St-Onge studies the impact of lifestyle, specifically sleep and diet, on cardio-metabolic risk factors.
-
The Tall Laboratory is conducting research on the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases including atherosclerosis, obesity and fatty liver.
-
The Thaker Lab strives to identify rare and common genetic variants associated with severe early onset obesity in children of diverse ancestry
-
Our focus is the translation of clinical and epidemiologic findings into early life interventions to eliminate racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in childhood obesity and its co-morbidities.
