Research Interests

I have participated in many research projects designed to determine the amount of body fat a subject has under the skin (subcutaneous fat) versus the amount deep in the abdomen, around the organs (visceral fat). This is important because the amount of fat stored in these different areas affects a persons probability for developing certain diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
