Neurobiology of Metabolism and Aging Lab

Lab Mission: The Tan Lab at the University of California, Irvine, aims to uncover the genetic, cellular, and neural circuit mechanisms that govern metabolic health and aging, with a particular focus on the brain–body axis. We integrate state-of-the-art technologies with innovative experimental approaches to identify the key molecular and cellular players driving these processes. Ultimately, our goal is to pinpoint precise therapeutic targets for obesity and diabetes, advancing strategies to improve metabolic health and promote healthy aging.
