Expertises
Dr. André Marette’s research focuses on the mechanisms of action of insulin and muscle contraction on glucose and lipid metabolism in muscle, adipose tissue, and the liver. His work also aims to identify mediators of insulin resistance in pro-inflammatory disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, he is involved in the discovery of biomolecules derived from plants and marine organisms for the prevention of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
