Our goal is to discover new therapeutic targets to repair barrier dysfunction in CNS disorders and translate our findings into the clinic.

Our research goal is to determine how the brain, kidneys, and pancreatic 尾-cells sense glucose levels to regulate whole-body glucose and energy homeostasis.

While the lab started focusing on neuronal calcium dysergulation in aging and investigating interactions with peripheral metabolic diseases as seen in diabetes and hyperlipidemia, we moved quickly into studies directly investigating the impact of insulin on neuronal calcium.
