Leanne Hodson is a Professor of Metabolic Physiology and a British Heart Foundation Senior Basic Science Research Fellow at the Radcliffe Department of Medicine, University of Oxford. Her research focuses on the alterations in metabolism and nutritional state substrates, such as sugars and fatty acids, and the associated metabolic consequences of obesity. She conducts whole body human physiological studies to understand metabolic integration across tissues, with her current research centered on liver fat metabolism and its perturbations that could potentially impact metabolic health. The accumulation of fat in the liver is a critical factor in conditions known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Leanne's work seeks to unravel the poorly understood regulation of metabolic partitioning of fatty acids in the human liver, utilizing various approaches including in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro models with metabolically-labeled substrates. This research aims to lead to novel therapeutic approaches to prevent and treat NAFLD. Leanne has received several prestigious fellowships, including the British Heart Foundation Senior Fellowship in Basic Science in 2015.
