Professor Steve O’Rahilly

We will:

  • build on research in monogenic and polygenic obesity to identify biomarkers for use in intervention studies and inform neuro-imaging studies;
  •  

  • characterise known and novel genetic and metabolic disorders associated with type 2 diabetes with a view to developing new therapies;
  •  

  • identify and implement novel approaches to improving control of type 1 diabetes in children and adults;
  •  

  • evaluate novel therapies, including gene therapy, for inherited metabolic diseases;
  •  

  • and use psychometric measures to determine how disorders of sexual development influence assessment and treatment of psychological status.
