The lab of Mark Goodarzi, MD, PhD, seeks to identify genetic factors underlying conditions related to insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome, using a population genetic approach. A major focus area is elucidation of the genetic determinants of insulin clearance, via candidate gene and genome-wide association analyses. Other areas of interest include insulin resistance and atherosclerosis in Hispanics and the polycystic ovary syndrome. Pharmacogenetic studies are focused on the glycemic response to statins.
