Adjunct Appointment; Professor, Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition

My research focuses on regulation of neuroendocrine and cellular factors responsible for enhanced efficiency of dietary energy retention in obesity-prone animals. Mechanisms whereby glucocroticoid interest with the CNS NPY and CRH systems to produce obesity are being investigated as is the regulation of pancreatic islet insulin secretion.
