- Charles F. Kettering Professor of Medicine
His research focuses on the interplay between circadian rhythms and metabolic diseases, including diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Key studies explore how circadian disruptions in muscles interact with poor diets to exacerbate diabetes, the role of transcription factors in maintaining insulin-producing beta cell identity, and the molecular mechanisms linking circadian clocks to energy balance and hunger regulation.
Scientific awards include the Charles F. Kettering Professorship. He collaborates with multidisciplinary institutes such as the Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine, Center for Genetic Medicine, and the Simpson Querrey Institute for Epigenetics. His work has implications for diet, sleep disorders, and chronic inflammatory diseases.
