Research Summary
Interaction of biological and psychological drivers of obesity
Description
With a multi-disciplinary team of researchers in nutrition, microbiology, and epidemiology, we received a large grant to fund the Institute for Cardio-Metabolism and Nutrition (ICAN), a major initiative to promote research on obesity and innovations in patient care.
As part of ICAN, I am studying the effects of drastic weight loss induced by bariatric surgery on food perceptions and preferences and on eating behavior.
