The central theme of the laboratory is metabolic physiology. Our mission statement is to: “Employ knowledge of metabolism to predict, prevent and treat chronic disease states”. Current research interests lie in understanding communication between the gut-brain axis, energy disturbances in pathological disease states and in dietary therapies for neurological disorders including autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy.
