Taiyi Diana Kuo is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Davis, affiliated with the Department of Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior. Her research focuses on endocrine regulation of metabolism, stress-induced beta cell dysfunction, and developmental biology in the context of aging and disease.
Her work integrates glucocorticoid signaling, insulin resistance mechanisms, and transcriptional regulation in metabolic tissues. Key areas include pancreatic beta cell failure, hepatopancreas development, and lipid metabolism under hormonal control.
Recent publications highlight trends in metabolic gene networks, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cross-talk between insulin and glucocorticoid pathways, with subfields spanning hepatic insulin resistance, beta cell dedifferentiation, and developmental gene regulation. The lab employs murine and zebrafish models to explore these mechanisms.
