My primary interest is in understanding the regulation of appetite and obesity by conducting studies in people with genetic or acquired conditions that effect energy balance, people with obesity and healthy volunteers. Conditions include craniopharyngioma, Type I and Type II diabetes mellitus.  

My current research focus is on designing interventions to address overweight and obesity. 

Public engagement in science and Patient and Public involvement in research are both important in my work, as well as collaboration with industrial partners.
