Our interests focus on the genetic regulation of intestinal and hepatic lipid homeostasis, in particular diet-gene interactions in the setting of obesity, hepatic steatosis and gallstone disease. We are particularly interested in the metabolic dialog between intestinal lipid metabolism and insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis.
