Professor Sadaf Farooqi’s lab at the University of Cambridge. We study the fundamental mechanisms controlling human energy homeostasis to identify treatments for obesity.
In a paper just published in Nature Medicine, we characterised the largest cohort of people with loss-of-function mutations in the Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) gene.
