Regulation of energy metabolism by CaMKK2 [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr John Scott (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Sean Humphrey ,  Prof Bruce Kemp

Brief description The dramatic increase in obesity and age-related metabolic disorders demonstrates the importance of gaining a better understanding of how cells and organisms regulate their energy stores. This project will identify novel molecular mechanisms that control the enzyme CaMKK2, which is a key regulator of whole-body energy metabolism. This will provide new opportunities to inform more effective strategies to tackle metabolic diseases, and improve health in an increasingly ageing population.
