Lab information

Metabolic Cybernetics or Metabocybernetics is a quantitative description of how biological systems achieve metabolic homeostasis in the face of environmental insults. In ancient times the greatest threats to metabolic homeostasis were starvation and infectious diseases whereas in modern times excess nutrition and physical inactivity pose greater threats to humanity. These latter threats are the major cause of a panoply of metabolic diseases that drive our interests. Genetic diversity creates enormous opportunities to understand complex systems like metabolism and metabolic disease enabling inference about causality rather than reflex adaptive changes.
