Funded Activity Summary

As an energy homeostasis researcher, with a particular interest in ingestive behaviour, I plan to examine the role the renin-angiotensin system in energy balance and obesity. I will achieve this by spending two years learning new techniques and conducting research in one of the top energy balance labs in the world, headed by Professor Stephen Woods (University of Cincinnati). I will then return to Australia to implement the techniques I have learned and extend this research.
