Award for research on neutrophil regulation of brown adipose tissue homeostasis to understand metabolic disease mechanisms, funded by NIDDK.
Description
The project focuses on the role of neutrophils in brown adipose tissue (BAT) metabolism and thermogenesis, aiming to identify factors driving neutrophil reprogramming and mechanisms supporting BAT thermogenesis. It is funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and involves research related to metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.
