Obesity Research Center home page The Obesity Research Center at St. Luke's–Roosevelt Medical Center is designed to provide both the leadership and the administrative matrix for fostering productive cooperation among participating investigators. The main thrust of investigation at the Center is the study of the relationship between food intake regulation and adipose tissue, the calorie storage depot. Studies range from the morphology and biochemistry of the adipocyte to the psychological and social aspects of food intake, and from the earliest development of adipocytes to the late, adult consequences of obesity. In all instances, the studies are devoted to further the understanding of fundamental biology of calorie intake and storage, and the principal calorie disorder in humans, obesity. A major contribution of the Obesity Research Center is the training of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and clinical investigators in subject areas pertinent to obesity. |
