Funded Activity Summary

Uncovering a novel energy-sensing mechanism in the brain. This project aims to investigate a novel regulator of energy homeostasis in the brain, a protein kinase called SIK3. Energy homeostasis is essential for life as it ensures an adequate supply of fuel to cells of the body. This project intends to generate new knowledge about molecular switches to regulate energy homeostasis by using innovative gene technologies and transgenic animal models. The expected outcomes include generating fundamental insights into how SIK3 in the hypothalamic neurons regulates energy homeostasis. Benefits include improving population health and wellbeing, informing the development of new bio-medical technologies, and expanding the capabilities of Australia’s next generation of researchers.
