The development of metabolic diseases are highly complex and likely to be the result of altered cellular communication via proteins.
The Deshmukh Group combines state-of-the art proteomics technology with in vivo and in vitro expertise, to address how changes in intra- and intercellular communication affect metabolism during health and disease. We are specifically interested in how exercise and diet influence intracellular signaling via protein post-translational modifications and inter-organ communication via secreted factors.
Associate Professor Atul Deshmukh explains; “Our new approach of combining proteomics within metabolic studies provides previously unobtainable mechanistic insight into the development and treatment of metabolic diseases.”
