About Me
My research concerns the molecular mechanisms of type 2 diabetes and the effects of iron on metabolism and risk for chronic diseases. These studies encompass basic mechanistic approaches using animal and cell culture models, as well as multicenter human clinical trials. I am also committed to supporting and mentoring other translational investigators at Wake Forest, and have a part-time appointment at the Salisbury VA Medical Center.
