Martin Myers

Dr. Myers received his MD and PhD (studying insulin signaling) from Harvard Medical School in 1997, and then joined the faculty of the Joslin Diabetes Center and began to study leptin action via the leptin receptor, LepRb.  In 2004, he moved to the University of Michigan, where he is the Vincent Professor of Diabetes Research.  The Myers lab continues to take a broad-based approach to understanding leptin action by defining the mechanisms of cellular LepRb action, studying the neurons that express LepRb, and determining the roles of these molecular and neural mediators in leptin action in vivo.
