Mentoring Obesity and Diabetes Research in Louisiana
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Obesity and diabetes affect a large and growing segment of the population but Louisiana is disproportionately affected because of the higher incidence of metabolic disease in our state. The COBRE at Pennington is devoted to discovering cellular mechanisms of metabolic disease and translating these discoveries into more effective treatments that will lessen the burden of chronic disease and improve the quality of life.
