Story overview

 I conduct experiments within the laboratory, using mice and human fat cells to look at various aspects of obesity and the process of diabetes. My research focuses on the interplay between adipose (fat) tissue and the pancreas, the organ which controls blood sugar through the production of insulin. Anti-oxidant enzymes appear to play a key role in these processes.
