This researcher studies how fat cells (adipocytes) and metabolic factors relate to diseases of the digestive organs, including pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, and liver disease. A representative study examined how fat cells can promote pancreatic cancer growth through a signaling molecule called hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). The work sits at the intersection of metabolism, obesity, and gastrointestinal disease.
