Research interests
I have been working as a physiological ecologist for 7 years mostly focusingonbody weight regulation and energy balance in rodents. I would like to utilize this training and continue to examine energy metabolism in rodents and other species. Two issues will be focused on in my post-doctoral research: The first one is about natural obesity in a wild rodents; the second one is about the function of brown adipose tissue in regulating energy metabolism and body weight.
