Joanna Śliwowska leads the Laboratory of Neurobiology, where she conducts research on the impact of diabetes and obesity on reproductive function. Her research interest includes how environmental factors such as diet influence neuroendocrine systems, in particular the brain, and how obesity and diabetes cause disruptions of the reproductive system.
Barbara Stefanska from the Food, Nutrition and Health Program in LFS is hosting the seminar, which is supported by the Dr. and Mrs. Dekaban Foundation. For more information, contact Barbara: barbara.stefanska@ubc.ca.
