@philippefroguel @ScienceMagazine @teichlab Thank you!

[Farooqi Lab @Farooqi_Lab]

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)

Prof. Sadaf Farooqi, winner of the EASO-@novonordiskfond Obesity Prize for Excellence, demonstrates in her research that weight is not just a matter of individual control, but is regulated by a highly conserved biological system in the hypothalamus.

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.
