Gökhan Hotamisligil

Gökhan Hotamisligil is the James Stevens Simmons professor of genetics and metabolism in the department of genetics and complex diseases at Harvard School of Public Health and an associate member at the Broad Institute. His research centers on the regulatory pathways that control glucose and lipid metabolism. Such pathways are involved in human metabolic and inflammatory diseases including obesity, diabetes, fatty liver disease, atherosclerosis, and asthma. His laboratory’s biochemical and genetic studies focus on signal transduction using cultured mammalian cells as well as transgenic animals to identify specific abnormalities in the metabolic pathways for glucose and lipids.
