소개
현대 사회에서 가장 폭발적으로 증가하는 대사증후군(비만, 당뇨병, 이상지혈증)의 발생기전을 연구하며, 이를 통하여 비만 및 인슐린 저항성이 대사성질환의 근본적인 원인으로 제시하였음. 특히 비만 및 인슐린저항성을 극복할 수 있는 치료타겟 발굴 및 신약개발 중개연구를 수행하고있음. 한국마우스대사성질환표현형분석센터(KMMPC)를 기반으로 대사성질환 유전자변형마우스연구를 통한 생체 유전자기능 규명연구는 글로벌 선도그룹으로 인정받고있으며, 국가지정대사성질환약리효능평가센터 및 길병원 연구중심R&D 육성 사업을 통한 대사성질환 혁신 신약개발 연구도 집중하고 있음.
