Results for Stable Isotopes

1 - 7 of 7

Dr. Nissim is a biochemist and a pioneer in the application of stable isotopes, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance to study metabolome and fluxome and their coupling to genome in normal and disease states. His long-standing interest focuses on understanding the cause, mechanisms, and outcome of metabolic disorders.

Marc Yudkoff, MD

Dr. Yudkoff's research is focused on the use of stable isotopes to measure the rate of production of urea in humans who have a urea cycle defect, or a congenital inability to detoxify ammonia into urea.

Shana E. McCormack, MD, MTR

Dr. McCormack investigates the intersection of neuroendocrinology and metabolism. Her translational research program involves two areas. The first involves studying those with genetic disorders, including primary mitochondrial diseases and Friedreich's ataxia, with characterized risk for diabetes mellitus. Second, Dr. McCormack focuses on brain disorders associated with excess weight gain, including brain tumor-related hypothalamic obesity syndrome and idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

Faculty Spotlight With Itzhak Nissim, PhD

Dr. Nissim studies the relationship of the metabolome and the fluxome to the genome in normal and disease states.

Nissim Laboratory

The Nissim Lab is led by a biochemist and a pioneer in the application of stable isotopes, mass spectrometry, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to study metabolome and fluxome and their coupling to genome in normal and disease states.

Yudkoff Laboratory

Research in the Yudkoff Lab focuses on the use of stable isotopes to measure the rate of production of urea in humans who have a urea cycle defect or a congenital inability to detoxify ammonia into urea.

McCormack Laboratory

The McCormack Lab studies the intersection of neuroendocrinology and metabolism, with two areas of focus. First, the lab studies genetic disorders with increased risk for diabetes mellitus, including mitochondrial diseases. Second, investigators in the lab focus on brain tumor-related hypothalamic obesity syndrome.
