Biography
Dr Lee Roberts is a Diabetes UK RD Lawrence Fellow and a 250 Great Minds University Academic Fellow at the Leeds Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Leeds, UK. His research focuses on metabolism, the phenotypes and mechanisms of metabolic disease, and the role metabolites play in the homeostatic regulation of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. Research in Dr Roberts' laboratory has a translational approach ranging from cell culture and animal models through to clinical and epidemiological studies. His research employs combined LC-MS and GC-MS based metabolomics and lipidomics techniques to study small molecule inter-organ cross-talk in the metabolic syndrome, and aims to uncover novel treatments for the twin global epidemics of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity.
