Dr. Kurland's Lab
Dr. Kurland’s laboratory focuses on understanding metabolic flexibility, which refers to the body’s ability to switch between glucose and fat as energy sources. In individuals with diabetes or metabolic syndrome, this fuel switch is impaired.
Research
Featured Research Areas
My laboratory has developed stable isotope based flux phenotyping methodology based on gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to follow the “history” of glucose and other labeled substrates as they are exchanged between different organs or within the same organ, for in vivo assessment of tissue specific metabolic flexibility.
Metabolic Flexibility and Insulin Resistance
Dr. Kurland investigates how the body switches between glucose and fat as energy sources, particularly in individuals with diabetes or metabolic syndrome.
Combined 'Omics Methodologies
Dr. Kurland integrates various 'omics approaches (flux profiling, metabolomics, and acetylomics) to gain a holistic understanding of metabolic processes.
Diabetes Research and Stable Isotope Techniques
As the Director of the Stable Isotope & Metabolomics Core Facility at the Diabetes Research Center, Dr. Kurland contributes significantly to diabetes research.
