Scot Stone

Scot Stone is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology & Immunology at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Medicine. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis and lipid droplet regulation, particularly the role of DGAT2 in energy storage and metabolic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders.

• Education: PhD in Medicine (University of Alberta, 1999), BSc in Physiology (University of Saskatchewan, 1993).
• Research Interests: DGAT2, lipid droplet dynamics, TAG metabolism, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

His recent publications highlight TAG synthesis pathways, protein interactions (e.g., DGAT2 with calnexin), and the clinical relevance of lipid metabolism. While awards and student advisement are not explicitly detailed, his work bridges fundamental biochemistry with translational applications for metabolic therapies.
