My laboratory investigates the proteomics of obesity and appetite control. Using antibody based assays we are examining the status of appetite regulatory peptides in the plasma of overweight adolescents in collaboration with Pediatric Endocrinologist Dr. Jill Emerick.
Teaching
I am the Module Co-Director for Module 2, Musculoskeletal System of the Pre-Clerkship Curriculum of the F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine, USUHS. This module covers the basic science and introduction to the clinical aspects of dermatology and the musculoskeletal system. I also coordinate the physiology and histology content that runs throughout the other modules of the 18 month Pre-clerkship Curriculum.
