A long-term goal of my laboratory is to elucidate the fundamental pathways that govern how our body makes, stores, and utilizes lipids. Dysregulation of lipid metabolism underlies many of today’s most prevalent chronic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and even certain infectious diseases. By uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying lipid metabolism, we aim to provide insights leading novel preventive and/or therapeutic strategies for combating metabolic disorders.

Faculty of Medicine - Dalhousie University provided the start-up funds for our lab.
Dalhousie University operates in the unceded territories of the Mi’kmaw, Wolastoqey, and Peskotomuhkati Peoples. These sovereign nations hold inherent rights as the original peoples of these lands, and we each carry collective obligations under the Peace and Friendship Treaties. Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 recognizes and affirms Aboriginal and Treaty rights in Canada.
We recognize that African Nova Scotians are a distinct people whose histories, legacies and contributions have enriched that part of Mi'kma'ki known as Nova Scotia for over 400 years.
