This researcher studies how the brain controls appetite and body weight, focusing on neurons and neurotransmitter systems (like dopamine and somatostatin) in specific brain regions involved in feeding behavior. Much of the work examines how appetite-suppressant drugs act on the brain to reduce food intake and body weight, including combination drug therapies. The research combines neuroscience techniques with pharmacology to understand and potentially improve treatments for obesity.
Publication output has been irregular but continuous over the last decade, with small yearly counts (0-3 papers) and no clear upward or downward trend.
