Skip to main content Research Our lab explores the molecular mechanisms governing intestinal health and disease by investigating how lncRNAs, immunometabolism, post-translational modifications, and host–microbiota interactions shape mucosal immunity. Unlocking the Role of LncRNAs in Regulating Organe…

A major focus of the Horton lab is to determine how these transcriptional regulators contribute to the development of steatosis in various disease processes such as diabetes, obesity, and beta-oxidation defects. A second area of investigation centers on determining the function of PCSK9, a protein that is involved in determining plasma LDL cholesterol levels through its ability to post-transcriptionally regulate the expression of the LDL receptor in liver.

Skip to main content Research Energy regulation is a highly integrated process that relies on careful coordination of energy availability and expenditure. This becomes especially critical during periods like infection, when the immune response increases demand and sickness behaviors like anorexia red…

The goal of the Center is to support pre-clinical research that uncovers the mechanisms of pediatric musculoskeletal disorders and explores potential new therapies.
