Caroline Alexander is a Professor at the UW Comprehensive Diabetes Center, part of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research focuses on the role of regulated heat loss in the skin and its influence on thermogenesis, total energy expenditure, and overall metabolism. She investigates thermogenesis as a significant consumer of glucose and fatty acids, emphasizing the connection between thermogenesis activation and metabolic health. To date, she has identified key heat transfer properties that describe the thermodynamic properties of the skin and has compared the regulation of skin-associated adipose depots in both mouse and human models. Her goal is to determine how lipids in the skin affect heat transfer properties, with the aim of modifying lipid content to enhance metabolic health and reduce the burdens associated with obesity and diabetes.
