Cutter Distinguished Lecture on Molecular Metabolism and Preventative Medicine with Shingo Kajimura

Event Date
In Person Speaking Event
Dr. Kajimura studies bioenergetics and energy homeostasis, focusing on how adipose tissue remodels metabolism in response to diet, hormones, and temperature. His lab discovered a mitochondrial BCAA carrier and showed beige fat’s metabolic benefits occur independently of UCP1, aiming to restore metabolic health through fat-specific “cold-mimetics.”
