Discovery of Novel Peptide Hormones Regulating Metabolism

Recent advances in computational biology and functional genomics have enabled the systematic discovery of previously unrecognized peptide hormones. In this presentation, I will discuss approaches for identifying and validating novel endocrine signaling molecules, with a focus on peptides that regulate metabolism and energy balance. I will highlight recent discoveries from our laboratory and discuss how these findings expand our understanding of interorgan communication while providing new opportunities for therapeutic development.

Host: Dr. Andrea Galmozzi

This event is part of the Morgridge Metabolism Colloquium.
