Clambake: An Algorithm to Decode Energy Expenditure Data from Metabolic Cages
In this webinar, Dr. Jonathan Brestoff discusses his research on metabolism and a new method to quantify metabolic data known as Clambake.
More Than What You Eat: The Regulation of Metabolic Health and Aging by Diet Composition and Activity
Join Dudley Lamming, PhD to learn how the specific composition of dietary protein and exercise influence metabolic health and aging.
From Trauma to Binge Eating: How Early Life Experiences Impact the Leptin System
Early life trauma (ELT) has been identified as a risk factor for binge eating and obesity in adult life, but the neural mechanisms behind this phenomena have yet to be determined. In this blog post we discuss a recent publication from Shin et al., which delineates the circuitry of this ELT-induced maladaptive eating.

Martin Young shares his career path, background, and the influence and guidance he has received from through generations of scientific mentorship.
#ExpertAnswers: Jonathan Brestoff on Energy Expenditure
Jonathan Brestoff explains how energy expenditure can be better described thanks to a new bioinformatic algorithm known as Clambake.
Does Diabetes Promote COVID-19, or Does COVID-19 Promote Diabetes?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many of those living with diabetes were required to follow strict guidelines to protect themselves against infection as they were at high risk of morbidity and mortality. This blog takes a look at the links between angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression and diabetes, as well as incident diabetes and long COVID.
