Biography
Associate Professor McGee obtained his PhD in Molecular Physiology from Deakin University in 2005 and completed postdoctoral training at the Department of Physiology, The University of Melbourne, and The Welcome Trust Biocentre, University of Dundee, Scotland. At the beginning of 2009, relocated his research program to the School of Medicine, Deakin University, where he currently heads the Metabolic Reprogramming Laboratory, within the Metabolic Research Unit.
Read more on Sean's profileResearch interests
Chronic over-nutrition is driving an epidemic of chronic diseases that includes obesity and type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Cellular metabolic reprogramming underpins the pathogenesis of all of these diseases. Our laboratory aims to understand the mechanisms that mediate metabolic reprogramming in these diseases and seeks to leverage this knowledge to develop therapies to combat the chronic disease epidemic.
Affiliations
