Wisconsin Surgical Laboratory in Metabolism
We seek to define how metabolic interventions like bariatric surgery impact organ function and aging. We have multiple active areas of investigation that span a diverse set of human disease including obesity, diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s Disease. We also develop translational and targeted therapeutics for the treatment of metabolic disease.
WiSLiM is currently supported in part by the National Institutes on Aging, Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, Wisconsin Partnership Program, Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, the Center for Biomedical Swine Research and Innovation, the office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, and the Department of Surgery. Other recent sources of support include the UW Institute for Clinical and Translational Research and WashU DRC pilot and feasibility award.
