Research Grant

Researchers: Prof David Fairlie (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Abishek Iyer ,  Prof George Muscat ,  Prof Johannes Prins

Brief description New approaches to prevent and treat obesity and metabolic diseases are National Health Priorities. Obesity is now recognised as an inflammatory disease. This project seeks new biomedical information to verify a new hypothesis that a protein (PAR2) on the surface of fat cells and immune cells is associated with the development of obesity and metabolic disorders.
