Brief description Obesity is a major health problem and treatments are ineffective. My team’s focus is to identify new candidate genes that control appetite and body fat mass and how this leads to the development of obesity or the other extreme, anorexia. We will use whole genome sequence analysis in humans and functionally validate the newly identified genes in model organisms like mice and flies. Results from this study will eventually form the basis for personalized and general health care in the future.
