In addition to our focus on research, the Center is connected to clinical care in the division of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, Comprehensive Weight Control Center, and iChange clinic. We also maintain close relationships with our colleagues at Cornell University, especially in the division of Nutritional Sciences, with which we hosted an intercampus symposium on metabolic health in September 2023.
Our initiatives involve the mentoring of outstanding trainees to become the field’s most exciting pioneers. The Center also hosts a variety of seminars and collaborations dedicated to helping members focus on the most pressing metabolic issues of our time.
A key feature of the Center is one of its core facilities, the Metabolic Phenotyping Center. This state-of-the-art resource allows researchers to comprehensively quantify metabolic parameters in mouse models, a key step in interpreting how experimental interventions impact metabolism.
