UCSF Endocrinology

The Alba Lab studies the transcriptional and molecular pathways that govern human adipose tissue development and remodeling. We connect deeply phenotyped clinical cohorts to tissue and molecular biology to understand how adipose dysfunction drives insulin resistance, with a focus on diverse and high-risk populations.
