Bret Payseur is a Professor at the UW Comprehensive Diabetes Center at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His research focuses on the genetic mechanisms by which organisms evolve exceptional body sizes, using house mice from Gough Island, which holds the record for the largest wild house mice. His work integrates genetic mapping, quantitative trait loci associated with body weight and growth trajectory, transcriptomics of metabolic organs, phenotypic characterization of congenic strains, and population genomics. The comprehensive phenotyping in his studies includes measures relevant to diabetes and obesity, aiming to elucidate novel genetic mechanisms involved in the development and progression of metabolic diseases.
