About the Lab
Dr. Latha Ramalingam leads a student research team at Syracuse University, investigating epigenetic links in nutrition and metabolism.
The Research
Dr. Ramalingam’s research interests include strategies, both in vitro and in vivo, to study the effects of bioactives (omega-3 fatty acids) in maternal obesity, role of the Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) in beta cells, and the interactions between adipocytes and beta cells and their influence on diabetes and obesity.Our current focus on parental omega-3 supplementation finds improved metabolic and inflammatory markers in offspring.
