Wei Lab at
University of
Wisconsin–Madison
Laboratory of Nutrient Metabolism and Biochemical Physiology
Welcome
Our lab is broadly interested in deorphanizing biochemical pathways that regulate nutrient metabolism, with the goal of uncovering new metabolic circuits that control physiology and contribute to disease. We focus on identifying previously uncharacterized metabolites, enzymes, and transporters, and determining their roles in nutrient sensing, energy balance, and metabolic signaling.
