About me:
I am an academic clinical fellow in Diabetes and Endocrinology currently out of program as a Chain Florey Clinical Research Fellow. My research interest is on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and how it increases the risk of metabolic dysfunction. I also lead the DAISy-PCOS study, a large multicentre international cohort study recruiting women with PCOS. My research involves using human in vivo methods to study the impact of various interventions in managing PCOS.
The Arlt Lab, which focusses on the role of steroid metabolism and action in human disease, moved to the LMS in 2023. Our work explores tissue-specific regulation of steroid action with a focus on the role of androgens in metabolic dysfunction. We are very interested in mechanisms that explain sex differences in the impact of androgens on metabolism.
