Jordan Strober

Jordan Strober is a Research Fellow in the Department of Internal Medicine at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. His research focuses on metabolic disorders, insulin resistance, adipose tissue biology, and the interplay between diet, genetics, and metabolic dysfunction. He employs animal models and clinical studies to investigate mechanisms underlying obesity-associated complications like hepatic steatosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Key areas of investigation include the role of enzymes like ATGL and PNPLA3 in lipid metabolism, the impact of dietary fructose and high-fat diets on metabolic pathways, and the effects of stress and genetic deficiencies on metabolic health. His work spans preclinical studies (e.g., mouse and rat models) and human adipose tissue analysis.

Recent studies highlight trends in multi-organ metabolic dysfunction, pandemic-related increases in pediatric NAFLD severity, and innovative approaches like antisense oligonucleotide therapy to target de novo lipogenesis. His research bridges basic science and translational medicine, addressing pressing public health issues related to metabolic syndrome.

No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided materials. He collaborates on projects involving PET imaging, proteomic analysis, and interdisciplinary teams studying metabolic pathways in obesity and related diseases.
