Research

Research 

I am particularly interested in the metabolic complications of androgen excess in women, with a focus on adipose tissue dysfunction, using in vivo and in vitro models. I also study the sexually dimorphic impact of androgens on human metabolic health, looking specifically at the overlapping adverse metabolic phenotype of women with androgen excess and men with androgen deficiency.
