"Aberrant Glucagon Signaling in Obesity and a Potential Role in Aging"
Jennifer Stern, PhD
Dr. Jennifer Stern joined the Division of Endocrinology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine Tucson in the fall of 2018. Prior to joining the faculty, Dr. Stern earned a Ph.D. in Nutritional Biology at the University of California, Davis, where she studied caloric restriction and insulin signaling in aging, followed by postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Arizona Cancer Center focused on obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (2012-14) and at the Touchstone Diabetes Center at UT Southwestern Medical Center (2014-2018) where she studied glucagon signaling in obesity and type 2 diabetes. Dr. Stern’s current research is focused on understanding the role of glucoregulatory hormone signaling in obesity/ type 2 diabetes, aging, and the response to exercise.
