and obesity. He has expertise in detailed in vivo measurements of metabolic physiology and vascular function in human diabetes
and obesity, evaluating the metabolic and vascular consequences of dysregulated fuel metabolism. He is currently involved in
studies using Glucagon-like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) as a modulator of myocardial fuel metabolism, exploring applications of this
therapeutic class as protective factors in the setting of ischemia and other metabolic stresses. He is also involved in multicenter
federally-sponsored studies using antidiabetic agents in pre-diabetic populations, attempting to forestall the progression to
diabetes by restoring beta cell function.
Expert.
