Dr. Benedict’s research focuses on the crosstalk between the brain and peripheral pathways involved in body weight regulation and nutrient metabolism, and how this crosstalk is affected by lifestyle changes (e.g. sleep loss). The Benedict lab at Uppsala University has uncovered several mechanisms through which sleep loss may drive the development of metabolic disorders, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.
