Dr. Hannah Lynn W.に依頼

United States

Metabolic Physiologist | Human Research in Obesity, Diabetes & Metabolism | Translational Academic Scientist

プロフィール概要

I am a Metabolic Physiologist and Postdoctoral Associate at the Duke Molecular Physiology Institute specializing in human clinical and translational research in obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease. My work focuses on the hormonal regulation of glucose homeostasis, including insulin and glucagon signaling, α-cell and β-cell interactions, and hepatic insulin sensitivity across metabolic health and early type 2 diabetes. My research integrates mechanistic physiology with clinically relevant outcomes to better understand disease progression and inform therapeutic strategies in diabetes care. I have extensive experience designing and conducting human metabolic studies, including advanced glucose clamp methodologies and in vivo physiological assessments. I earned my Ph.D. in Molecular Physiology and Biophysics from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, where I completed dissertation research in the laboratory of Alan Cherrington focused on the physiologic and cellular mechanisms underlying the second-meal phenomenon using large animal models and metabolic clamp techniques. During my doctoral training at Vanderbilt, I was awarded the 2025 Dean’s Award for Exceptional Achievement in Graduate Studies and completed the Intermediate ASPIRE Path in Molecular Medicine, gaining clinical exposure through mentorship with clinician-scientists, including Justin Gregory, MD. This training strengthened my ability to bridge basic physiological mechanisms with clinically relevant research questions. In addition to my research background, I have extensive experience in scientific teaching, mentorship, and curriculum development across K-12, undergraduate, and graduate levels. I have designed and directed structured physiology and biomedical science courses through Vanderbilt University’s Programs for Talented Youth and served as a teaching assistant and discussion facilitator in graduate biomedical programs, supporting students in scientific literature interpretation, data analysis, and translational research concepts. I am also the founder of The Metabolism Lab, a science communication platform dedicated to translating complex metabolic research into clear, accessible, and engaging insights for both scientific and general audiences. I am available for collaborative and consulting work in human metabolic study design, glucose clamp methodology, diabetes research, data analysis, scientific writing, and science communication or educational content development.
