Professor Sadaf Farooqi’s lab @Cambridge_Uni. We study the fundamental mechanisms controlling human energy homeostasis to identify treatments for obesity.
In a paper just published in @sciencemagazine, we teamed up with @teichlab to construct the most detailed atlas to date of hormone production and action in humans at cellular resolution. (1/8)

5. They will then explore how the same genetic changes affect the metabolism of mice and their behaviour in a social setting. Then with state of the art technologies, they will unravel the precise way in which the wiring of the brain controls instinctive behaviour across species.
