David Harris

David Harris is Assistant Professor in the Division of Minimally Invasive Surgery, Department of Surgery at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research examines the mechanistic relationships between bariatric surgery, metabolism, and aging processes.

Research explores how metabolic surgery mitigates obesity-related organ dysfunction and age-related illnesses using murine surgical models. His work identifies novel therapeutic targets for obesity and age-associated conditions.

Recent publications focus on protein restriction effects post-surgery, senescent signaling, Alzheimer's models, gut-liver axis remodeling, and surgical impacts on breast cancer risk. Articles demonstrate consistent focus on metabolic surgery mechanisms in preclinical models.
