Research
The overall aim of my research is to find out how the brain might play a role in the development of diabetes. I am particularly interested in glial cells and how their changes could affect the brain’s control of blood sugar.
In particular I am interested in:
- brain control of appetite
- brain control of glucose metabolism and the onset of diabetes
- GLP-1 receptor agonists
- glial cells
- gut-brain axis
- hypothalamus
- dorsal vagal complex
