Unveiling the secrets of energy and glucose homeostasis to fight obesity-related diseases. | The overarching research goal of the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research is to define the physiological regulatory principles in energy and glucose homeostasis as well as the genetic factors and environmental cues that alter energy and glucose homeostasis in disease. By achieving this goal, we aim to ultimately identify novel therapeutic targets as a first step to developing new treatments for obesity and obesity-associated diseases.
