Biography

Dominic Withers is a Professor of Diabetes Endocrinology at Imperial College London and Head of the Metabolic Signalling Research Group. His research primarily focuses on the fundamental role that molecular signalling pathways play in regulating mammalian physiology. With a particular interest in how these signals control feeding and metabolism, he aims to enhance the understanding of the causes of diabetes and obesity, working towards developing therapeutic approaches for these conditions. Withers has identified key signalling pathways that control lifespan, paving the way for potential treatments for age-related diseases. He joined the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS) to undertake complex, multi-disciplinary research and has a strong background in clinical practice and academic leadership.
