GICD/CVRI Seminar
Peter A. Crawford, MD, PhD
Crawford’s group is committed to understanding the metabolic origins of disease, particularly those rooted in overnutrition and maladaptive energy economy. Much of his interest proceeds through dissection of both the responses and influences of ketone body metabolism on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease progression, congestive heart failure, and cancer. The team leverages recent analytical chemical and computational advances in high-resolution mass spectrometry to perform both static and stable isotope tracing untargeted metabolomics, and also leverages magnetic resonance spectroscopy to quantify metabolic fate and flux. Advanced physiological phenotyping methodologies are strategically aligned with these chemical profiling platforms to generate resolved phenotypic pictures in genetically manipulated mouse models and in human participants.
