The Roh Lab at IUSM studies mechanisms that control cellular identity and plasticity and seeks to use the findings to cure human disease. We use adipocytes (fat cells) as a model system and work toward understanding how to program adipocytes that enhance energy homeostasis, promoting metabolic health and protecting from metabolic disorders, such as obesity and diabetes. We use combined approaches of traditional molecular biology and physiology and cutting-edge next generation sequencing techniques.
