A lab that explores how diabetes and fatty liver arise, starting from genes and proteins.

AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering how lifestyle-related diseases develop
The Goda Lab studies how lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease arise and progress.
The lab creates its own mouse models of lifestyle-related diseases and mice with modified related genes, and examines how the diseases develop at the molecular level.
One of its main pillars is searching for genes and proteins that can serve as new biomarkers leading to diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
The lab is also working on developing therapies that use adeno-associated virus vectors, which have a high level of safety, to improve disease conditions.
Key terms
- Lifestyle-related disease
- Diseases such as diabetes and obesity whose onset and progression are influenced by lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise
- Biomarker
- A substance or indicator in the body that provides clues to the presence or progression of a disease
- Adeno-associated virus vector
- A tool based on a low-pathogenicity virus, used to deliver a gene of interest into cells
