The Meta-Imageomics Research Laboratory investigates the complexities of Human Metabolism by integrating quantitative Medical Imaging with Systemic Multi-omics
Our research brings together metabolic physiology, quantitative imaging, and systems biology to understand how metabolism differs between tissues and how these differences relate to health and disease.
We integrate positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with metabolomics, lipidomics, and transcriptomics to study inter-organ metabolism, insulin resistance, and adipose tissue biology.
Obesity and insulin resistance are major focuses of our work as we seek to understand the mechanisms underlying metabolic dysfunction.
Our research is carried out in close collaboration with colleagues in imaging, metabolism and clinical research at Turku PET Centre and internationally.
The group is led by Adjunct Professor Mueez U-Din.
