Adam Rose

Biography

Dr Adam Rose studied Exercise Science at Griffith University. He went on to complete an Honours degree and PhD at Deakin University with Prof. Mark Hargreaves studying exercise metabolism, biochemistry and skeletal muscle signalling. He conducted his junior post-doctoral training with Prof. Erik Richter at Copenhagen University continuing on studies of skeletal muscle signalling, adaptation and metabolism. He then joined Prof. Stephan Herzig at the German Cancer Research Center as a Senior Scientist and subsequent Sub-Group Leader studying liver metabolic-hormonal signalling and systemic metabolic control in health and disease. He joined Monash University in August 2017 as a Senior Research Fellow and Head of the Nutrient Metabolism and Signalling Laboratory within the Dept. of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology as part of the Biomedicine Discovery Institute Metabolism, Diabetes and Obesity Program.

Research Interest

In general, we adopt an integrated systems approach to further the understanding of adaptive/maladaptive metabolism and the molecular mechanisms involved therein, with the eventual aim to discover new therapies for diseases with a metabolic basis such as obesity, diabetes, and perhaps cancer. Our particular interest lies in the complex interaction between nutrients, hormones, and signalling pathways which connect these to ultimately coordinate systemic metabolic control. Our particular projects aim to further understand: 1. Nutrient-hormonal-signalling nodes controlling metabolic homeostasis 2. Stress-signalling pathways in adaptive metabolic control 3. Inter-organ metabolic cross-talk in health and disease
