Thomas M. O'Connell studies how the body's chemistry changes in health and disease, using metabolomics and lipidomics — techniques that measure large sets of small molecules (metabolites and fats) in blood, tissue, and cells. Much of the work connects diet, exercise, muscle biology, and the gut microbiome to conditions such as fatty liver disease and age-related muscle disorders, and also involves building software tools to analyze this molecular data.
