Dr. Morgan Fullerton is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Ottawa, where he also serves as the Director of the Flow Cytometry Virometry Core and the Centre for Infection, Immunity and Inflammation (CI3). He focuses on the fundamental aspects of the immune system that influence metabolism, investigating how systemic and cellular immunometabolism affects various diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. His research aims to map physiological energy and nutrient sensing pathways, analyzing key regulators like AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Fullerton's work extends to studying choline metabolism's role in immune cell function and its effects on inflammatory signals. He employs flow cytometry to measure metabolic programs in both preclinical mouse models and clinical liver isolates, contributing to a deeper understanding of immune cell metabolism in health and disease. His collaborative work with other researchers further enhances the exploration of immune-associated metabolic processes.
