[SY12-2] Leptin mediates a glucose-fatty acid cycle to maintain glucose homeostasis in starvation
Dr. Rachel Perry is an Associate Research Scientist in the laboratory of Dr. Gerald Shulman at Yale University, and Co-Director of the in vivo core of the Yale Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Center. Dr. Perry completed her undergraduate studies in Biomedical Engineering at Yale University, and earned her Ph.D. in Cellular & Molecular Physiology with distinction, also from Yale. Her work in the Shulman lab has generated key insights into the role of increased lipolysis in driving insulin resistance and poorly controlled diabetes, and her CV includes first-author original research papers in Nature, Science, Cell, JCI, Nature Medicine, and others. Dr. Perry has recently been honored as a Blavatnik Foundation Regional Award recipient, among other recognitions, and holds several funded grants including the prestigious NIH K99/R00 award to study tumor metabolism. Beginning in July 2018, she will take a position as an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Internal Medicine and Physiology at Yale University.
