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

Shingo Kajimura, PhD
Location
TBA

Event Date

12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

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.”
