Research Interests
Monica J. Hubal, PhD is centered on elucidating why some people are prone to obesity, type II diabetes, and cardiometabolic disease – especially earlier in life. With dual backgrounds in exercise physiology and genetic medicine, much of Dr. Hubal's research involves integrating genetic and molecular data with physiological data in both exercise and obesity studies. Long term goals of her laboratory are to identify genetic and molecular factors controlling metabolic dysfunction and modeling how interventions like diet and exercise can best treat or prevent obesity and related diseases in both children and adults. Current projects involve developing a personalized medicine approach to weight loss surgery and studying the molecular changes associated with different types of exercise.
