I am a nutritional scientist with a research focus on gastrointestinal function and energy intake regulation in humans. The aim of my research is to understand (1) how any changes in gut function in obesity derail the appetite-regulatory and, thus, reinforce weight gain, ans (2) the role of gut function in the pathophysiology of digestive symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia.
This fellowship will support a clinical researcher whose focus is improving metabolic and reproductive health by manipulating hormones and improving sleep. This will be achieved from a platform of NHMRC project grants and a NHMRC CCRE in interdisciplinary sleep health.
I am a clinician scientist and nephrologist. My research involves preclinical and clinical translational approaches to identify new targets and develop novel treatments to prevent, reverse and retard the development and progression of diabetic complications.
