Hotamışlıgil Lab
Through the lens of metabolism, the Hotamışlıgil Lab explores the basic mechanisms of metabolic and immuno-metabolic adaptations and how they play a causal role in obesity and age-related diseases, the greatest threats to global public health. Through this approach, our research hopes to create pathways towards a disease-free life in a healthier world.
