Kevin Hall, PhD is the Integrative Physiology Section Chief at NIDDK-NIH.  His laboratory investigates how metabolism and the brain adapt in response to a variety of interventions to diet and physical activity. His team conducts experiments in both humans and rodents to better understand the complex mechanisms regulating macronutrient metabolism, body composition and energy expenditure. Uniquely, his research also involves the development of mathematical models to quantitatively describe, explain, integrate, and predict experimental results. Overall, Dr. Hall’s research aims to improve our understanding of body weight regulation and develop practical tools for research and clinical use.
