Janane Rahbani is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on the molecular mechanisms linking obesity and cancer metabolism, particularly examining the interplay of energy-wasting pathways and cachexia in cancer patients. Dr. Rahbani's laboratory aims to elucidate new molecular mechanisms that provide opportunities to develop novel treatments that limit tumor progression and combat obesity. She is particularly interested in the role of thermogenesis in adipose tissues and how it contributes to muscle atrophy and altered metabolism during the early stages of cachexia. Her work highlights the importance of adipose tissue metabolism in tumor growth and weight management in cancer patients. Dr. Rahbani has contributed significantly to the field through her research on adipocyte biology, cancer metabolism, and diabetes, with multiple publications focusing on the intricate connections between these areas.
