Areas of Interest

Energy homeostasis - Obesity
Animal and Human Physiology
Circadian Physiology
Animal Behaviour

Research

My field of interest is Integrative Physiology, i.e., the broader aspects of physiology, involving and integrating mechanisms and regulatory functions at all biological levels spanning from molecular, cellular, tissue, and organs. Specifically, I am interested in three main areas: the interplay between circadian physiology and metabolism, the examination of dietary supplements for attenuating metabolic syndrome, and an emerging topic of inquiry – insects as an alternative protein source.

We use animal models to assess:

The role of the endogenous circadian rhythm period-length, i.e., its deviation from the environmental light-dark cycle, in the susceptibility to obesity.
The efficacy of novel nutritional supplements for attenuating metabolic syndrome.
The efficacy of insect-based protein-rich meals for food and feed
