Expertise

laboratory is broadly interested in glucose metabolism. Specifically, we are studying the role of the storage form of glucose, glycogen, in various tissues.

We have mice genetically engineered to lack or overaccumulate glycogen in several tissues. We are studying these animals to better understand the importance of glycogen in organ development and function, as well as in diseases such as diabetes and epilepsy.
