Welcome to the Hayes Laboratory
Studying the Neuroendocrine Control of Energy Balance since 2010
A systems-neuroscience approach.
-
Energy Balance
From cell to the whole organism, our program extensively examine the role of various neuroendocrine signaling systems that control for food intake and body weight regulation.
-
Obesity
Examines the behavioral, intracellular, neuronal, and endocrine mechanisms governing energy balance and how these processes are dysregulated in obesity.
-
Neuroendocrine Systems
Examine the role of various neuroendocrine signaling systems (e.g., GLP-1, leptin, amylin, CCK, serotonin, glutamate, and dopamine) to control food intake and body weight regulation.
