Biography

David Carling's research group studies how changes in the body’s metabolism affect health and disease, focusing on the role of an enzyme called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This enzyme has a key function in regulating metabolism. Dysregulation of energy metabolism occurs in a wide range of human diseases, including obesity and cancer, and Carling is particularly interested in determining the efficacy of AMPK activation as a treatment for these diseases.
