Charlotte M. Boney is an Adjunct Professor in Pediatrics, focusing her research on the mechanisms controlling adipose tissue development and the complications of obesity, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases. She is primarily investigating the signaling pathways used by Insulin-like Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) in the processes of adipogenesis, including the proliferation and differentiation of adipocyte precursor cells. Her work has identified critical roles for various protein kinases in mediating IGF-I actions, and she is actively exploring the multi-protein signaling complexes involved in preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation. Boney has been awarded multiple grants for her research, including funding from the Lifespan Developmental Grant and NIH/NIDDK. She is recognized for her scholarly contributions to the field, published numerous papers, and received several honors for her teaching and research efforts, including multiple Dean's Teaching Excellence Awards at Brown Medical School.
