Discovery - The major focus of Dr. Gletsu Miller's laboratory is to study the diseases associated with obesity and outcomes following weight loss. The research is done mainly in humans, specifically patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. Improvement in diabetes and cardiometabolic risk, as well as the mechanisms responsible, are of interest. In addition, the laboratory studies strategies for optimizing nutritional outcomes following bariatric surgery.
