Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Lewin Small. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Lewin Small completed his PhD in 2018 at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research through the University of New South Wales, under the supervision of Professor Gregory Cooney, investigating the mechanisms of lipid-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. After his doctorate, he pursued postdoctoral research at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, working with Professors Juleen Zierath and Romain Barres on the link between circadian rhythms and energy metabolism. In 2023, he joined the University of Sydney to continue his research into energy metabolism and insulin action, particularly focusing on the impact of diet and healthy ageing. His research interests encompass the influence of environmental factors such as diet, time-of-day, and season on whole-body energy metabolism and insulin action. He is particularly interested in employing omics technologies, including proteomics and RNA-seq, to address questions regarding the molecular mechanisms that enable adaptation to environmental stimuli. His research aligns with the Faculty of Science's Research Strengths, including Molecules and Materials, Understanding Life and Earth, Understanding Disease and Disorder in Humans, and Future Foods.
