We want to welcome our newest Fraternal Order of Eagles Diabetes Research Center member, Jon Resch, PhD. Recruited from Harvard Medicine, Dr. Resch is now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience and Pharmacology here at the University of Iowa.
Dr. Resch’s research currently aims to uncover the neural mechanisms underlying the homeostatic regulation of appetite and cardiometabolic physiology. His lab uses genetically engineered mouse models and Cre-dependent AAVs to specifically map neuronal circuits as well as manipulate and record their activity in order to define the function.
