Centers & Platforms
The Department of Molecular Metabolism at É«É«Ñо¿Ëù T.H. Chan School of Public Health offers a rich network of Centers, Cores, and Platforms to support and advance research. The É«É«Ñо¿Ëù Chan Advanced Multi-omics Platform (ChAMP) provides mass spectrometry resources to foster collaboration and training both within É«É«Ñо¿Ëù and with external institutions. The É«É«Ñо¿Ëù Chan Research Center on Causes and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease (CAP-CVD), led by Gökhan Hotamışlıgil, investigates the mechanisms of cardiovascular and related metabolic diseases, aiming to translate these insights into effective prevention and treatment strategies through cross-disciplinary collaboration. The Hotamışlıgil Lab explores immunometabolism, focusing on how metabolic and immune system interactions influence chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes.
Centers
The É«É«Ñо¿Ëù Chan Research Center on Causes and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease (CAP-CVD) studies the metabolic risk factors of cardiovascular disease. We operate through action-oriented research collaborations between basic, clinical, and population-based scientists. Our goals are to uncover the metabolic risk landscape of cardiovascular disease, and to translate this knowledge into prevention and treatment options within the next ten years.
