Topic : Mouse models for metabolic studies: backing to the basic

Abstract:

Dr. Xiang Gao will discuss some of his thinking on the metabolic control analysis using mouse models. Based on the failed and success projects in his laboratory, he will focus on the physiological and pathological responses of animals to environmental factors and diets. Hopefully, we may get some insight on why so many issues have not been discussed by the researchers in the metabolic fields.
