Research

My research has been concerned with the elucidation of the basic causes of obesity and Type 2 diabetes at a molecular level and the translation of those discoveries into improved diagnosis and therapy for patients. My work has uncovered several previously unrecognised genetic causes of these diseases including some that are amenable to specific treatment.
