Current projects include:
- Multi-omics analysis of intestinal adaptation following bariatric surgery models in rodents, including understanding how luminal factors drive these changes.
- Testing relevance of human organoids as a model system for bariatric surgery-associated intestinal adaptation.
- Human Bariatric Tissue biobank ("GI Omics") study to test hypotheses regarding mechanisms for weight loss and metabolic improvement after bariatric surgery.
- Using CGM to understand postprandial fuel metabolism and relation to intestinal biology.
- Characterizing adrenal androgen production after bariatric surgery, with the goal of understanding mechanisms for PCOS remission.
